vb.net upgrade : My computer seems to be to slow to run VS2005
Hi,
Before I had installed Visual basic.net 2003 on my laptop toshiba Tecra S1 Tecra S1 Centrino 1.6GHz / XP Pro / 15.0 256mb Windows XP servic pack2 After installing Visual Studio 2005 My computer seems to be too slow to debug my developping applications. Has anyone experience if it is possible ro run VS2005 faster Thanks in advance Marc
1 gig RAM ??? Wouldn't that be too much, Peter ?
I know that the more the RAM, the better the performance(atleast upto 1GB), but considering that the minimum requirement for VS 2005 is stated to be 128 MB and the recommended is 256 MB. Regards, Cerebrus.
That might help...my specs are Centrino 1.6Ghz and 1G memory, XP w/SP2
and VS2005 still trudges along. But I've learned to live with it. It may well be a result of some of the third party components I'm using as well.

Dude, too much RAM is never enough (there is a practical limit I
suppose, but it's well beyond what any laptop or regular workstation can handle these days) The more objects that can be shoved into memory, the less disk caching windows has to do.
Perhaps it is not the disk caching thats slowing them up. Maybe it is
the fact that MS concentrated too much on making the GUI look pretty insted of efficient and functional... I wish there was a way to turn off the pretty gui and just use standered windows GUI construction, basic colours. So that VS would run faster. MOst of the CPU and GPU ussage is being eaten up by VS trying to figure out how to draw itself and any given moment. [quoted text, click to view] Jerry H. wrote:

Hi,
This is bad news. I thought that they would have made VS 2005 much less memory intensive. Sounds like it was a good idea that I put off downloading VS 2005 (the express edition) till I can buy a new computer. I currently work on : (Now, don't laugh...) Pentium-433 MHz processor, 256 MB RAM, Win2K Professional with VS 2003. Regards, Cerebrus.
Mine seems to be slower than VS2003 also. Sometimes it takes about
thirty seconds after I hit Ctrl-space just to autocomplete the variable name I started typing. For crying out loud.... Maybe more memory would help, but I don't notice the drive light coming on solid like it's thrashing the drive with swaps.
Hi Peter,
Any other suggestions? I'm running a P4 3.2Ghz HT chip with 2GB RAM on XP Pro SP2 and my disc is regularly defragged, but VS2005 is still incredibly slow - particularly during Edit & Continue operations.

" Pentium-433 MHz processor, 256 MB RAM, Win2K Professional with VS
2003. " BWAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAAAA!!!!!!!! I'm just kidding, Cerebrus. I used to work with Delphi 5 on such a machine as yours. I miss Borland products.

I think, this is not an issue of your PC.This is an issue of Visual Studio
2005. It is very, very slow. I don't know the MS strategy this about. You can compare. e.g. the search function in the MSDN documentation for Vs2003 and the help search in Vs2005.

Edgar, I think i am agree with you,
Why Visual-Basic2003 is working normal on the same computer? If I runn Visual-Basic2005 you easely can easely drink a cup of coffee each time debugging the program If i should drink every time à beer or à strong drink......, you guess.... I am not intend to buy each time another notebook.. Marc. Belgium "H. Edgar" <hedgar@noemail.nospam> schreef in bericht news:eZihZPyVGHA.4960@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl...

yeah screw Windows XP in the mouth
Development tools (like Visual Studio) are very RAM intensive. If you don't
have enough RAM to keep core functionality in memory, Windows has to swap. I run at least 1GB of RAM on all development systems and don't have performance problems (for the most part). -- ____________________________________ William (Bill) Vaughn Author, Mentor, Consultant Microsoft MVP INETA Speaker www.betav.com/blog/billva www.betav.com Please reply only to the newsgroup so that others can benefit.
