I've got a 1.3 GHz computer with 128MB RAM, running XP
Pro. I am also running .NET 2002 and VS6.
When using .NET - various operations are quite slow - such
as loading it, opening a project, loading help, compiling
for the first time, etc.
This sometimes also happens with VS6, but not to as great
an extent.
My question is, would increasing the amount of RAM in the
computer improve the speed of general visual studio
operations such as I have listed above, or would this
depend more on things like the processor? or the quality
and speed of the hard disk?

Without giving a 100% assurance, I think you'd be 99% sure that adding
more memory would give you a noticeable improvement. Ideally you'd
probably want to aim for 512MB to be fairly safe.

128 RAM is a on the low side for running XP period and Visual Studio will
consume a lot of memory and cause page swapping which equals slow
performance. Upgrading to at least 256mb will help some and going up to
512mb will really help things a lot. My secondary computer is a 866mhz with
512mb and it does quite well with VS and .NET (although not as good as my
2.1ghz primary system).

All of the above.
Obviously - by upgrading to better hardware, such as processor
and hard drive, will make your computer faster. When I upgraded
my PC, I only did so with RAM and that too gave it a good boost
in speed. Definitely add more memory, that is the simplest of the
three. I'll second the others' recommendation of going to 512 if
posible.

I ran VS.NET on a P2 350MHz, but with 384MB of RAM, and it worked quite
nicely (sure, compile times were slow), but RAM is the killer part. I had a
800MHz P3 with 192MB RAM, and it was much slower than the P2 for most
things.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
