Generally, no. In general use, RAM is used to refer to your computer's RAM that loses its contents when it is powered off. A DVD-RAM retains its contents even when powered off, so it would not be RAM. Moreover, the DVD-RAM drive is just like another DVD drive that is connected to your CPU through the IDE controller, while RAM is connected to the CPU through the internal data buses.

Does the speed of the ram decrease if the size of the ram is increased?

Actually it is quite the opposite. The more RAM you have the more speed at which data can be transferred to the RAM. An example is if you have 512 Mb of RAM then 512 Mb of data will be transferred to the RAM at a time, but if you upgrade it to 1 GB of RAM then 1 GB of data will be transferred to the RAM at a time verses the 512 Mb. So the speed at which the RAM stores data will increase if the size of the RAM is increased. I hope this answers your question.
