If there is more than X MB RAM in total, the desktop environment will be started.
If less than X MB RAM in total (for example, only 196 MB RAM in total), no desktop environment will be started.
This should be quite convenient, because users with low RAM could reduce Y MB and even if they sometimes wanted to configure/check something, they could assign 512 RAM and automagically boot into the graphical desktop. There are also many settings in /etc/rads.d/ (stackable) to configure this feature, so if you want, you can also add a lot RAM, but not boot into a desktop environment, or use different display managers and so on.
Most useful in virtual machines.
