    How do i contol the amount of ram used on each program.
    I want to control Nero Burning Software so there will be no hardware lagging when i want to run something while burning.
    I know that you can -heapsize in the Gamespy game command line, but when i tried it with Nero, it wouldnt work.. probably the way i wrote it.

    wanted to edit something but cant remember now :)

    Not really the answer your looking for, but may help and is along
    the right lines:

    If your using XP, ctrl+alt+delete and click the processes tab. Then
    right click the required process and you can increase/decease
    priority. This however is processor priority and not RAM useage...

    you cant limit the amount of memory a program uses..
    if you did and your program tries to allocate more
    memory..

    you will receive an "application error" dialog box
    in win2k/xp

    it can crash 9x boxes, but usually just the application

    You're probably best off letting Nero take up whatever resources it wants while burning. CD burning is very timing-sensitive, and if Nero has to wait around for memory/CPU, you will likely end up with a dud CD.
