That's kind of silly that they won't tell you the RAM requirements.
»www.openbsd.org/i386.html

Although seeing an 80486DX as an supported CPU makes you wonder if that is just for the kernel and the command shell. I doubt it will run any GUI's.

It'll run on a box with 32MB of RAM. That said, if you have that little RAM, I can only refer you to »dilbert.com/strips/comic ··· 5-06-24/, or you can compile your own kernel to use less RAM.
