VS2008 slow on these specs?
-
I'm thinking on buying VS2008 Pro for an old computer. The specs are Celeron 2933 MHz, RAM 1262 MB, running XP Pro. In principle, it should be fine but I was wondering if someone around here has similar specs and VS2008 installed. Is this sufficient to run it snappy or is it a snail? Thank you guys.

Currently on a 1.7gh Pentium, 1Gb, and it's just fine - even with animated menus and windows I have no problems at all
C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

It won't be blistering, but it will be usable on these specs. VS 2008 is actually noticeably zippier than VS 2005 in my experience. I run VS 2008 (SP1) on various systems, all XP SP3: Single Hyperthreaded Xeon (2 CPUs) with 2GB RAM: Works well. Dual Hyperthreaded Xeon (4 CPUs) with 2GB RAM: Works well. Celeron M430 Laptop (1 CPU) 1GB RAM: Works OK, laggy at times, but OK. Fine for small - medium projects. VS 2005 didn't really work at all (in any real sense) on any of them. Mike

This might help... Check your HDD light... if the light is continuous then either the HDD is too old (or not defragmented) or the antivirus is scanning all the project files each time. so first try to disable the antivirus (if you have) and then try again. Or the HDD is slow. VS is always high on disk IO. When you compile it will parse all the files from your project and the debug also do lots of disk IO. I hope that you already have the fresh installation of Windows XP. I always exclude my "Project" folder from antivirus scanning list; it makes about 55% performance boosting. As I am not developing viruses :-D so no need to check that folder each time I compile.
