I am looking at buying a simple second computer. Not for internet or gaming, but just for burning and maybe wordprocessing. My question is what system requirements are needed for Nero, DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, VOBBLANKER and DVDFab Decrypter? I have these tools on my main computer and will probably just copy over the install files when the time comes. A co-worker offered to sell me a Pentium III with Windows 2000 on it, but I'm not sure if that is enough power for these programs. Memory is probably an important variable too, but I haven't checked the system to see what it has in it. The system does not come with a DVD burner, so if anyone knows if the Sony 16x or equivalent has a minimum requirement to operate, let me know, as that is what I'd probably add.

My old machine that I used for those same purposes, with the same software was a PentiumIII 600Mhz. It started with 128mb RAM but that was no good. I made it up to 512mb which was fine.
One important thing is to use an operating system with the NTFS file system which will be Windows 2000 or XP. I had 2000 on it at first but i couldnt get on with it. I changed to XP and all was great.
I always made sure I only had the ripping / authoring or burning software running at any one time and even on my new machine I keep all XP settings to performance bias rather than things that look pretty. No desktop backgrounds, no screensavers, no office shortcut bar and all that resource hugging stuff.
With the above in mind, you will be fine, whatever burner you choose.
