I recently upgraded by Powerbook G4 1.5ghz (12"). Now it has 1.25gb instead of 512mb. The difference is huge. MacOS is not really memory hungry perse, but it does use all the memory it can access to speed up things.
So, I recommend 1gb at least for your Mac.
Besides that, I am really happy with the Mac platform. The only thing that sucks is the fact I also have a PC, and I have to sync data all the time (for web development). But then again, I also would have that problem with a second PC (but not the reconfiguring of PHP scripts).
Windows Vista rips off MacOSX on a lot of fronts. A shame that this company doesnt innovate but uses Apple as a cheap Research & Development company!
