PC Requirements for VS2005
-
Hi, I am currently using a 2.0Ghz processor with 1GB of RAM. And I am using Visual Studio 2005 to develop ASP.NET applications. When I run ASP.Net, the VS2005 IDE runs quite slowly. At times, it takes more than 1 min to compile the application. When it gets worse, it takes ages to display an aspx page! I read that VS2005 is quite processor intensive so what kind of specs would you recommend?

It recommends 192 MB RAM for the Prof edition - that's a joke :-) Go for 2 GB Ram, a faster CPU, and a fast Hard disk. And you'll be fine. Regards, Nish

More information When my VS2005 is running slowly, I checked my Task Manager/Processes tab. And the devenv.exe was using up loads of memory. At some point in time it shot up to 1,000,000k!!!! It started of with around 200,000k and steadily went up Is that the reason why it runs so so so so slowly? But with 1Gb of Ram and 2.0Ghz processor I'm still baffled why it runs so slowly.
