The RAM needed for software like Nero is decided by the software. Increasing what you already have will not do anything ; you already have enough.
From Nero Technical Info :-
Processor and memory
For writing audio and data discs:
- 800Mhz Intel® Pentium® 3 processor or AMD Sempron? 2200+
processors or equivalent
- 128 MB RAM
For TV recordings, DVD and video authoring:
- 1.2Ghz Intel® Pentium® 3 processor or AMD Sempron? 2600+
processors or equivalent
- 128MB RAM
For real−time capturing and burning:
- 1.6Ghz Intel® Pentium® 4 processor or AMD Sempron? 2600+
processors or equivalent
- 128MB RAM
Microsoft® Windows 98/98SE/Me, Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4 or later), Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or later), Windows 2003 Server (Service Pack 1 or later), MCE 2004 / 2005
If you were to have only 128MB , because the O/S always reserves at least 70Mb , you would be running short and Nero would have to address your PageFile resource (a portion of your HD) -- it would still work but with a lot of stress.
Applications when they start will put a flag on the RAM to reserve a fixed block for themselves , it is a resource deployment request that is embedded in the software. If the RAM is already flagged by some other programs and there is not enough left , it will address the PageFile system on your HD. Hence the need to alleviate any demand on your RAM by other programs while you doing video editing/authoring -- best you turn off any non-necessary applications; specially if you are on the borderline of having enough for what you want to run.
Have a great Day !
