I am running two ID11 frontends with one 1GB stick each with no
problems.  I am also running three N230 IONITX frontends with two 1GB
sticks each with the same results.  To be honest, I had no lack of
performance reason to do so, but I only upgraded them to 2GB so the
BIOS would allow me to allocate more VRAM.

My content is mostly MPEG2 captured from my Ceton and HVR-2250, H.264
captured from my HD-PVR, and my DVDs.
