    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

      Laptop: 512MB (painful :() Desktop: 1GB You didn't say how much *you* currently have?

      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 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.

          Impressive RAM attitude there! I am similarly minded as far as RAM is concerned - though sometimes my bank balance doesn't live up to my mindset! Regards, Nish

              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

                I haven't tried it yet. I'm still a VC 6 guy, although as I'm going through and updating my articles, I fire up 7.1 to check that the sample code works. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!! PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

                      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. :(
