Generalcreepy 1.5 GBmemberkatanakensei28 May '12 - 21:51 
i have to use 1.5 on my virtual machine..
 
it's quite discouraging.... Cry | :((

I don't actually know - well, I checked and it's 4GB - but anyway it's enough for my daily work.
 
If I need to do something really beefy I go on the server and it runs so fast you think it didn't start, then you start it again and it says, but I just did it.

So I have 4GB of RAM on my work pc and 6GB running on my home pc.. But in that I am running both Delphi and VS... Needless to say it gets hectic. I want to have VMs for what the clients would be using but then my poor baby at work will probably grind to a halt if I kick up 2 or more VMs...
 
Strangely enough, I can run multiple VMs on my home pc running both IDEs multiple times (never mind my pc @ home is an I7 and has about 9TB of space on it *innocent smile*... Imagine that!!! Big Grin | :-D
 
*sigh*
Cheers,

GeneralMuch not bettermemberK4HVDs28 May '12 - 9:08 
Must develop into the worst possible conditions that a customer may have. Cry | :((
GeneralRe: Much not bettermemberDreamSoft.ps28 May '12 - 11:38 
You're right
GeneralRe: Much not bettermemberJason Barry29 May '12 - 2:42 
You should only have to test with the worst possible condition. Otherwise, it takes you that much longer to develop.
GeneralRe: Much not bettermemberkmoorevs29 May '12 - 5:29 
As already mentioned, you only need to test in worst possible environment...VMs work great for testing. I would hate to compile anything on our software's minimum required hardware!
