Yikes, that's pretty low for local development work. If you were mostly doing remote access to a more powerful development server that might work but for doing anything more serious you'll want to consider at least 8GB. Chrome uses a gig by itself so you're already down quite a bit. Most of my dev machines have been 16GB minimum.
- mattkrea 10y agoThis. Around 2.8Ghz core and 16GB ram are standard for us. Occasionally we have to settle for 8GB if that is what all that is available in Apple refurbs.
- markbnj 10y agoI don't care about CPU speed very much, but yeah, 16GB at least for a dev machine. You need something you can run a database on, perhaps an http server + framework, etc.
- mattkrea 10y agoVirtual machines are a killer too. We are primarily web but end up doing more than our fair share of legacy WinForm app updates and that requires a lot of ram if you're going to have at least somewhat of a pleasant experience in VS inside the VM.
