question about pfix=copy and ammount of ram

OK. so I have a computer with 1gb of ram. what is the largest remastered pup_412.sfs I should try, or will be allowed to load to ram? I mean if the entire file system is loaded to ram, I would imagine you dont need alot of free ram to further run the OS do you?
