mjb3030 Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 How do most people determine minimum software requirements for an application they have written? Hard drive requirements are pretty obvious, but how do you determine processor / RAM requirements? Quote
sjn78 Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I would say it all comes down to what you are doing with your program. I did some GDI stuff and on my laptop it worked fine, its a P4 1.8 with 256 ram running XP Pro, but when I used it on another laptop with a P2 233 and 64 ram running XP Pro it was very slow and painful. If your forms have heaps of controls or graphics then a decent computer would be needed. Best way to try it is to be able to run your software on a variety of machines and test it all out Quote
