 I run a Lisp everyday on a PC .
it will not run in under 5 Meg. (we have 16 Meg)
If your application program wants (or needs) extended ram, it
can use it all it wants. (it just ignores dos, I guess)

We run Gold Hill Common lisp on a compaq 386/20.
I believe that GClisp uses the bottom 640k just for communication with
the outside world. (We have a bunch of C code graphics routines down there.)
