QUOTE(bezz @ Sep 26 2007, 07:27 PM)  Get a new computer. If you ever plan on getting Vista, you'll need 2 gigs of ram. I run Vista Ultimate with Aero perfectly fine on only 1GB of RAM. I do agree that you should at least have 512mb of RAM on any modern PC. |

I got an HP tablet laptop, 1400 $, 960 MB RAM, 120 Mem, NVIDIA Ge Force GFX card, it's pretty slow when I play Warcraft III, but runs Aero Home Premium okay. It almost never crashes when I use Photoshop CS2 though.

I plan on getting a new laptop (got nowhere to put my own Desktop, as I board with my mate AND it's easier to take a latptop to my folks in the holidays lol). I'm saving for one now, though I DON'T want bloody Vista. Vista sucks, it's OKAY but I'd much rather have XP Pro. At least with XP, I know all my programs work without failure.

I wouldn't say Vista sucks, just in its early stages. I didn't think much of XP when it came out, preferring my win98 over the flashy new OS.
I don't really see the point of this thread, you can't try Dreamweaver because because your system is too outdated. Cmain made a good point. If you ever planned on buying the software, it would cost much more than a 512 stick. If i were you, and i really wanted to try it.. im sure you could use a friend or family members computer. |

All my files are on my computer, and I edit my site somewhat at least once daily. And the point of the thread is that programs shouldn't have a requirement needed to run on your computer. They should have a minimum and recommended specifications like games do. But still run, just lag your PC out like no tomorrow.
Also, I've seen it. It looks (as in GUI-wise) like Dreamweaver 8. And I can run that perfectly fine. So WTH? |

QUOTE(SP_ @ Sep 24 2007, 04:02 PM) Dreamweaver isn't that good of an application anyway. If you are a good coder and really enjoy you, you should enjoy typing out all that code yourself. Notepad++ is nice, I suggest you give that a go. Dreamweaver is an amazing application. Of course if you don't know what you're doing it can be a pain in the ass, but you should be typing your code by hand anyway. I use DW mostly for the WYSIWYG editor and the CSS integration. It makes the whole process a lot easier. I tried Notepad++ for HTML, PHP and some C++ too, but it doesn't come close. I've never used NVU, but I've heard it's really good, so if you can't afford DW, go for that first. Btw, if you don't already have a 1 GB stick, you might as well drop the $80 for it, it's worth it. |

Wait... how much is a 1GB stick of RAM for a LAPTOP? One that'll fit into a shit Dell Inspiron 2200 Notebook (LOL, I hate Dell)?
And I also use Dreamweaver for it's WYSIWYG editor and CSS integration as well. They would be only real features I use. Often anyways. |

So that's how you do it... couldn't find a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop manually on that site lol. I also found 1GB memory upgrades at:
http://www.upgradeable.com.au/dell/inspiron-2200.html and http://www.edgetechcorp.com/memory/upgrade.asp?cid=30022 |

QUOTE (dont know if thats good) well 3gigs of ram is very good, as i know Vista needs 1gig ram to run some say if you have 2 gigs ram with Vista than you cool and i personaly think 2 is good enaugh if you dont play video, music, game, internet all 4 at same time (even if you do with 2 gigs ram you free)so if you have 3gigs your cool but it also depends on other stuff such as your mother board, graphc card, processor.... ____ I personalu have 256 ram on my PC and i run a 2003 XP.... i have hard time using it, oh well this is only for a short time in a month or 2 ill be flying with me new PC

Trust me, Vista run fine on just 1gb of RAM and even 640mb of RAM. I can be surfing with Firefox, listening to music in iTunes, be working on a layout in Photoshop, and even working on a logo in Illustrator at the same time just fine. This is also with Aero running on Vista Ultimate.
