    What's about developer machines that they requiere so much memory. I keep adding memory as more I use a machine. As the projects get bigger and I use that machine to publish them, so the machine asks me for more memory. So what's the normal here for memory? Got normally 4 projects open VS2003 and VS2005, I copile one while I work in another. Need to go to Best Buy in a few and get another GB How much memory is in your computer? Al

    1 gig (home) 1 gig (work laptop) 256mb (nt4 text box. It's a 7yo p3, so the ram's reasonable for what it's used for. If I needed to do anyhting heavy with it there'd be a problem since IS is extremely reluctant to support anything that old)

      I have 640MB (the motherboard's max is 768 (3x256MB) (yes this is an OLD computer)) and it's only painful when I try to run more than one VM in VirtualPC.

            Virtual page files... mass storage for not-quite ram-disk type work.... everything is manually paged, so not as efficient, but also that data is not necessary for all customers.... It's experimental until we get a full 64bit, both are dual boot or removable drives, so 64bit is an option as soon as all our 3rd party DLLs support the same. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

              which is why home was orignally 1gig.... then 1.5gig... and only went 2gig after tax refund.

                  I did not. My laptop is 512 as well and my desktop was 1GB 10 minutes ago, now is 2 GB The laptop is painful to write code with, the desktop was paintful if I wanted to keep 3 projects or more open, now seems ok with 2GB, still got another socket free to add another DDR2 Cheers Al

                          I have 2 GB at home and the same at work right now. I don't think my home machine's board supports > 2 GB Ram. Else I may have upgraded to 4 GB. *sigh* Regards, Nish

                                  My box right now is a 2.5ghz P4 with 1GB ram and 200gb hard drive. Have had it for about 3 years now and it's still doing fine but an upgrade would be sweet. Maybe after my thesis is done :)

                                    1GB. Wish I could double it, especially since I could disable the Windows pagefile, but sadly funds don't allow. :(
