It should work in ur pc only u need about 5 GB of space on ur HDD for making images and stuff for a single layer dvd and 9 GB for a dual layer dvd

Basically i dont need it for copying dvds but for writing dvds. So is it sufficent for writing dvds.

Ok here's whats written on a DVD RW box: (its a BenQ 1650 DW)

Pentium III 550 Mhz CPU
128 MB RAM
100 MB free space for CD/DVD recording/Editing software installation
1 GB free HDD space for CD image recording (10 GB for DVD authoring) is recommended

Compatible OS - Win XP, 2000, Me, 98.

With that amount of ram it will surely take hours

Yep like cyrux said with only 128 MB ram it will take loads of time to write a dual layer dvd...But it will work..
