Slightly OT: Can memory affect CD burning?

[AmSci]

I recently switched from 256 megs of ram (1 128, and 2 64's) to a single stick of 256.
Using an ASUS P3V4X (via apollo pro 133a), after the change I have been getting a lot of CD burning errors. (Not buffer under runs...other errors. Even CDRWIN sometimes won't detect my CDR drive)

Does anyone know if memory can affect burning? Or is this just a coincidence?

The memory you bought maybe bad. That's the only thing I can think of, unless you changed some system settings.

Try putting the old memory back and if the same thing happens, then it's not the ram.

I left my system settings the same, since the amount of memory didn't change, just the stick count.
I'm returning the new memory, I swapped the old memory back in, and successfully burned 6 discs.
It was just odd that the only thing affected was cd burning.
