Do I have enough RAM?

[Mick Dugan]

VS 2005 sometimes runs pretty slow and I'm wondering if my 512 MB of RAM is enough. Suggestions?

Enough RAM for VS 2005.... Errmm do you have more than about 20 GBs of it? It not then you need more....

No seriously. You really need 1 GB for VS.2005 for it to run smoothly.

I had it running fine with 512 with the betas for quite a while. I upgraded to 2gb because I tend to also have firefox with 8 tabs open, an mp3 player, a pdf, etc, etc.

So 512 seems fine. If things are slowing down more than you would like, more ram would be a cheap/easy solution.
