Priority one is more memory. If you increase the memory to 1 gig, you'll
notice a dramatic improvement.

1 gig RAM ??? Wouldn't that be too much, Peter ?
I know that the more the RAM, the better the performance(atl east 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.
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.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Alex

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.

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