You can consider using the CentOS cloud image. It is available from the oVirt image repository and AFAIR can boot in VMs with as little as 500MB of RAM.
Of course, once the VM is installed, I can go in and change the RAM to 512 MB and it´ll boot just fine. It´s as you say that it´s just the installer that absolutely needs it.
I think its just the installer that needs that much RAM, if you boot from pre-installed images you can do with much less (And you can also save on disk space and I/O by using thin clones).
That is also an option but I just don´t want to have a dozen images to update and maintain, I´m lazy:) /K
