.Net how much Memory is needed

  • I would like to know how much memory is needed to develop using .net. My VB PC only has 256 megs on it, would this be enough when I start using .Net.

    Thanks

  • Hi there

    Upgrade to a minimum of 512Mb for performance reasons, it will run, but slowly. Esp if you also have a small DB running in the background, IE, IIS etc..

    Cheers

  • Running .NET IDE is quite memory intensive. We are running it on our 'old' 256MB laptops and it runs fine, but not really fast.

    If you have the chance to upgrade your RAM, you certainly should do so

    so in addition to buying NET I should opt for another 512MB RAM?

    Btw, I'm not sure on which version I should buy. I use VS Enterprise Edition right now. and now.

    .NET Enterprise Architect

    .NET Enterprise Developer

    ??

    What do you use?

    Cheers,

  • I'm using Enterprise Developper.

    Architect is interesting if you need the design tools like Visio (to do UML and database modeling) and Enterprise Templates (to build your own templates to start a project).

    Hey, Microsoft even throws in a development license for Biztalk...

    To go short. I think Ent. Developer gets the best bang for the buck. It includes Source Safe integration and a load of developper licenses for Windows Server, SQL Server, ....
