Table 3.2. Recommended Minimum System Requirements
RAM (minimal) RAM (recommended) Hard Drive
128 megabytes 512 megabytes 5 gigabytes
I see "You must have at least 56MB of memory and 650MB of hard disk
space to perform a normal installation. Note that these are fairly
minimal numbers." and
"No desktop 64 megabytes 256 megabytes 1 gigabyte
With Desktop 128 megabytes 512 megabytes 5 gigabytes"
And for amd64 (I was saying that there are not big differences for
needed memory for an architecture or another):
You must have at least 80MB of memory and 650MB of hard disk space to
perform a normal installation. Note that these are fairly minimal
numbers.

So, there is a little more memory needed to install, but not to make
things running. But I do not think I will see an amd64 with less than
512MB someday :D
Anyway, there is nothing related to "more than 2G of ram, install
amd64"
Now, in my own experience, it seem those numbers are for gnome and kde
desktops, since with xfce4, 64 megs are ok on one of my computers. Not
fast as lightings, of course, but enough to use for simple tasks
(playing music, going on some websites with uzbl... of course, you can
forget firefox, chrome, opera...) :)
there has been extensions for i386
(or newer, not sure) processors to handle more than 4Go of RAM
memory.
