I absolutely despise Adobe right now. I have gotten the Dreamweaver CS3 trial and finally finished downloading. Only to find I HAVE to have at least 512 megs of RAM on my stupid crappy computer. How stupid is that? Most will RUN with lower RAM, just run slower than normal.
This is so not freaking fair. HOW THE HECK DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO GOOD WEB DESIGN WITH AN OUT OF DATE HTML EDITOR YOU &#$^!@%!!! |

Does it require you to actually have 512 MB RAM?
Or does it just say that as recommended requirement? |

No, you HAVE to have it... Otherwise it WILL NOT install. Same goes with Photoshop and Flash CS3 I pressume.

pfft who needs such programs when you have your good old friend 'NotePad'
 Dreamweaver gives out dirty codes anyway, thats why I prefer to just stick with Notepad. |

I hate Adobe for taking over Macromedia. Macromedia was a perfectly fine company, and then all of a sudden Adobe had to step in. Well, at least I don't have to keep going back and forth between Photoshop and Flash again, well, once I get the latest suite.

How can you not have 512 MB of RAM? It's pretty basic nowadays. You should invest the $30 it costs to buy a 512 MB stick.

Not much you can do but, upgrade.
I went about 6 years on a 400mhz system, I didn't want to buy a new system. But I couldn't do anything not unless I gave in and bought one. This isn't so bad on your part tho, Just think of gamers! They got to upgrade to huge amounts on hardrive space, ram, processors just to keep up with game updates. Half-Life 2 Preferred specs: 2.4 GHz Processor 512MB RAM And these would still give lag! |

There are many good programs out there for writing code.
Examples: Notepad Notepad++ - http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net Araneae - http://www.ornj.net/araneae/ TopStyle - http://www.newsgator.com/Individuals/TopStyle/Default.aspx Aptana - http://www.aptana.com/ |

I don't know if this is a great program but NVU which is a freeware program compatible with Linux, Windows and Macintosh computers is a WYSIWYG HTML editor that’s quite similar to Frontpage and Dreamweaver etc
It can be found at NVU.com I doubt this needs alot of Ram so it might be of use to you. |

I have to say I much prefer a simplistic editor to a WYSIWYG monster too. I use kate, but that's a part of KDE - so not ideal for most people. I have used notepad++ though, liked it. It's not about reducing features, it's about picking out the really useful ones (syntax highlighting, brace matching, etc) and throwing away the bloat.

Adobe hates you
Seriously though, Adobe rocks. Suck it up and buy some RAM. How are you doing coding and design on such an underpowered system? |

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.

I'm sure previous versions of Dreamweaver would get you along just fine if you really need Dreamweaver. If you are using Dreamweaver you should only be suing the code view if you are writing HTML/CSS. The tag completer is just about the only feature that would be useful. A regular text editor such as Araneae is just as efficient in my opinion.
It sounds like it is time for an upgrade in your case. The trial on lasts 30 days and then you would have to pay for the software. A RAM stcik is much cheaper than a version of Dreamweaver. |

Get a new computer. If you ever plan on getting Vista, you'll need 2 gigs of ram.
