A CD ROM drive cannot read a DVD. So it is not possible to use a CD ROM as a DVD ROM. A DVD ROM drive can work with a CD though.
If I was to purchase a computer that is a average desktop computer how much RAM and Rom should I have?
The same as the difference between a phonograph record and a phonograph. The CD-ROM is where the data is stored. the purpose of the CD-ROM drive is to read it.

Master drive on the primary IDE channel
boeth. it depends on your computer.
You cannot play a DVD in a CD-ROM drive, you need a DVD compatible drive in order to play a DVD.
If you know that you computer has a CD-ROM drive navigate to My Computer and look for an image (icon) of a CD or the name CD-ROM drive. That is likely to be the CD-ROM drive, although it may have additonal capabilities such as DVD ROM, DVD-RW etc. In a computer using Windows the CD-Rom drive is usually given the drive letter 'D'. If the images/icons names are no help right click the icons one by one and check the resulting menu. You're looking for the icon with the menu optiomn eject. That will be the CD-ROM drive. If you are looking to buy one make sure you specifically ask for a CD-ROM drive, usless you need additonal capabilities as above, and specify whether you need it internal or external to the computer.
