There are mainly 2 reasons I had to upgrade the RAM:
1. Akonadi / KMail 2.
2. "Modern" websites with massive abuse of inline images.
Both of those eat lots and lots of RAM
not to forget that we now have many cases where GTK2/GTK3/QT4/QT5 are
loaded at the same time, with that memory not so long ago a whole
graphical operating system including applications is working fine

below 1.5 GB RAM no way at all
frankly we recently upgraded our server-hardware and changed the
clustermode to sandybridge, all seemed to work fine (except
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269014 which is a very
interesting bug)
there are tiny backup VM's with 1024 Mb RAM over years for each
production machine running a mysqld-slave and hourly rsync of the
userdata for later offsite-backups from there
day 1 1:16: one of them crashed and got restarted by VMware HA
day 2 1:16: one of them crashed and got restarted by VMware HA
well, the screenshot vmware makes from the VT showed page allocation
errors and finally i realized that the once per day added
--delay-updates rsync param on the new hardware for whatever reason
triggered that errors
increased *any* virtual machine to at least 1.5 GB RAM - no problems for
2 months now
