.Net Development System Requirements

[stnkyminky]

I've found system requirements for a .Net development machine at MS. However, they appear to be the minimal requirements. Would list what you're running and if you're having any problems with this config.

Hey Stinky,

You should only use Win2k or XP Pro as your operating system if you're developing .NET

you may not be thinking about it now, but if you ever want to try your hand at ASP.NET applications, you need an operating system that is running IIS, which limits you to Win2k or XP Professional. 98 and ME have no support for web applications.

I was developing on a P3-500 with 128 MB of ram, and it ran super SLOW! Those minimum requirements are definately minimum. I'm running an Ahtlon 1400 now, with 256 MB of ram, and I'm pretty happy with the performance. The faster the system you can get, the better though for sure.

Development machine:
Laptop P-III, 800Mhz, 192mb RAM
Windows 2k Pro

Deployment machine:
Dual CPU P-III 300Mhz, 256mb RAM, SCSI RAID 5
Windows 2k Server

The only thing I'd change is more screen real estate on the laptop. 1024x768 isn't cutting it. 1280x1024 should be a minimum, 1600x1280 if you can get it.

jfrost10,
&quot;98 and ME have no support for web applications&quot;

The personal web server (PWS) bundled with 98 and ME is an actual IIS webserver. Obviously watered down an awefull lot, but it does serve and deploy asp apps and pages. I use one now for testing.
I do fully agree that &quot;You should only use Win2k or XP Pro as your operating system if you're developing .NET&quot;, but it can be done in 98 or ME, as long as you have enough power cpu and ram wise.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey Vec,

Thanks for pointing that out, I totally worded that line wrong. What I meant to say was that &quot;98 and ME ahve no support for asp.net web applications&quot;

However, maybe its HOW you're creating your web apps that matters. If you're using visual studio.NET, this article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../vxtbsVisualStudioNETSoftwareRequirements.asp

basically says that your out of luck if you're using 98, me, or nt4.0

However, you say that you're running asp.net apps from pws? Is it old-school asp style where you're just coding straight into the text editor?

It is in fact &quot;old-school asp style&quot;, I just wanted to point out the PWS thing. As I said though, I do agree with you on the fact that you really should run Win2000 or XP, heck if you are going to shell out the bucks for .net, why would you run it on Win98 or ME!! You might as well stay with Visual Studio 6.0.
