[DUG] [OFF-TOPIC] memory issues

[Jeremy Coulter]

I agree Kyley, you do need to re-invest in your Hardware....better you have
it than the taxman take your $$....but there is one thing that you need to
keep in mind.
Whilst your software runs at an amazing pace on your PC, the customer may
not have such a speedy machine and your software "may" run like a one legged
dog.
If you are developeing for a single client you can say ....go update your
hardware, but when developing for a mass-market (well as mass as you can get
in NZ) you may have people trying to run your kick-ass software on a PIII
700 or something.
I always try to take this into consideration, and hence why I still ahve a
3year old PC. If it flys on my machine I have written nice-ish tight code
and it will be fine on other PC's.
However, when customers have better machines than you, its time to do some
investment :-) Which is what I am doing at the moment. I just have to decide
what to get.....!

As for 2 monitors, I tried that a few years back, but I have to say it just
annoyed me, so I have go back to a big single monitor. I guess its about
what works for me and I know others will say its mad, bit honestly it doenst
bother me having 1 monitor.
