So I have 4GB of RAM on my work pc and 6GB running on my home pc.. But in that I am running both Delphi and VS... Needless to say it gets hectic. I want to have VMs for what the clients would be using but then my poor baby at work will probably grind to a halt if I kick up 2 or more VMs...
Strangely enough, I can run multiple VMs on my home pc running both IDEs multiple times (never mind my pc @ home is an I7 and has about 9TB of space on it *innocent smile*... Imagine that!!!
*sigh*
Cheers,

Must develop into the worst possible conditions that a customer may have.

You should only have to test with the worst possible condition. Otherwise, it takes you that much longer to develop.
|
|
|
|
|
As already mentioned, you only need to test in worst possible environment...VMs work great for testing. I would hate to compile anything on our software's minimum required hardware!

I eventually managed to nag, beg, and whine my way to 8gb; so far none of my dev coworkers have succeeded in this.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

No matter how much RAM I have, SharePoint is unimpressed.
|
|
|
|
|
That's because SharePoint is like a spoiled child. Give me, give me, etc.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I need to know who vote for more than 16G

Somebody showing off

I managed to get a new PC with 24GB, and this has paid for itself over again by now with the highest work output I've ever done.

I can get as much as I like.
I have to share with my colleagues though, who have a virtual workplace on the same machine.
I recently got a bit extra, because I do all the heavy work
I believe (yes, I am not sure, hardware never really was my thing) it is 4GB at the moment, which is the same as I have at home.
It's an OO world.
public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }

I voted 16GB. Reason: My boss said "Just tell me what computer you want". Result: I now have everything I need, including a lot of RAM and two nice portrait-format monitors
|
|
|
|
|
Ha ... it is you who have voted 16GB
Hope you got a nice Boss

I actually find that clever. Most of us programmers are just small nerds inside. Having a big bad computer makes us all warm and fuzzy inside. Hence we get happy and therefore a lot more efficient/constructive.
Hardware costs are nothing compared to the extra development time generated by frustrated programmers (come one, do you really take time to find the best approaches when you have to swear over your computer every day?).
