McAfee certainly can interfere, as can certain explorer toolbars (I found
the Live toolbar (Microsoft) had a horrible effect on my system performance,
for example). I have 2 GB on my machine and still had issues.
More memory is almost always good, as it keeps you from paging (memory good;
paging bad), but I would pull down some tools (like the ones from
sysinternals.com) and see what is going on.

Hi:
I have a new Dell Computer with 1G RAM running VS2005 and SQL 2005. Seems
like VS 2005 is very slow and I get lots of IE lock-ups. I find myself
waiting a lot. Could it be McAfee? My productivity has gone down with VS
2005. Any one care to comment? Do I need more memory?
Thanks,
Charlie
