Jorge_Beteta Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Hello Experts! I have a Compaq Deskpro 500Mhz, 256 RAM, harddisk 40GB, Windows 2000 Professional as OS and MSSQL2000 as DB. I have installed Visual Studio .Net for developing in asp.net and it's really slow, because of the low processor speed. My question is: Is it any way to configure and set up the software (the OS, the Registry, the DB Manager or the VSNet tool kit) in order to improve performance (straight away: be faster)? Where could I find more documentation about this? Thank you! Jorge Quote
*Experts* Volte Posted September 22, 2003 *Experts* Posted September 22, 2003 The IDE itself will most likely be extremely slow on a machine like that, however the actual framework shouldn't be too terribly slow. The minimum is 90Mhz Pentium, so you're well within that limit. I suggest either doing your development on a faster machine, or using Notepad (or some equivilant, like EditPlus) to do your coding.

*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted September 23, 2003 *Gurus* Posted September 23, 2003 I used to run Visual Studio .NET on a PII 400MHz with 256MB of RAM. It was just as responsive as it is on my current computer, both the IDE and the framework. Quote Posting Guidelines
*Experts* Volte Posted September 23, 2003 *Experts* Posted September 23, 2003 I used to use the IDE on a Celeron 666MHz and it was terrible. :-\ That was Beta 2 though, so I suppose they could have vastly improved it. Quote
*Gurus* divil Posted September 24, 2003 *Gurus* Posted September 24, 2003 Memory will almost certainly be the bottleneck during normal use of the ide - vs.net is a big memory hog. 256mb is the minimum you should have to work with it.

*Experts* Nerseus Posted September 24, 2003 *Experts* Posted September 24, 2003 Do you really need the SQL Server running locally? I know it's useful for testing, but if you could offload that to another matchine that might help as well as SQL Server can be a beast sometimes. I can say that the VS IDE only had a marginal improvement going from a P3 700 to a P4 3ghz. When I went from 256 meg to the current 1gig (at work), I noticed a big improvement. Other than NOT using Visual Studio to do your development, I don't know of any other ideas to get your current setup running faster. VS is a beast - very nice to use, but a performance beast. -Ner Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.

ThePentiumGuy Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 what about SharpDevelop? maybe that will be faster .. :?
