Ken, good idea, going to the installer's virtual console and running 'free'.
Those Intel Compute Sticks come with variously anywhere from 1 to 4 GB
RAM.  How much the antiX installer uses depends on which ISO you use: 
The antiX-full image chews up more RAM than the others.

And, actually, the smart move on a low-RAM machine would be to _not_ 
run the default graphical installer, but rather, at the installation
ISO's boot prompt, login as root and run the 'cli-installer' program
_and_ also create a swap partition.  This is specifically recommended on
the antiX FAQ.
