Coming in late to this thread, but the stock 1GB on my Revo seems to be plenty:

$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        897120     470640     426480          0      83412     153648
-/+ buffers/cache:     233580     663540
Swap:      2048276          0    2048276

Looks like 128MB is assigned to the video. Myth uses only about half the
remaining memory.
