Really?? That must be nice. I only have 2 gig, have outlook, FF, IE, notepad++, SQL Server Management Studio 2008, Office communicator, at least 1 Visual studio 2005 open, sometimes a 2003, and probably 2-3 2008s open, along w/at least 2 remote connections.

In FF I usually have around 10+ tabs open, so that hogs res in and of itself, and for IE I have to use a ticket system that is reeeeeally clunky and takes up a lot of res too.

PS kinda kills things :/.
You obviously just need more machines!!! And more resources on them.

I'm on the lightweight ultraportable laptop right now at it has 4GB and a decent SSD that makes things really fly for how small this machine is (3.5 pounds). And this is the least resourced machine in terms of processor and memory. All the servers floating around here have at least 4GB. Some more. I'd say 6GB is average in terms of memory.

The workstation in the office has a high performance SSD and 12GB of memory. I heart that machine.

I won't start discussing open tabs. Roll When you start hitting 60 or 70 let me know! That's where I START!!

Oh, and I've used Paint.NET before. It's a great free app!! I recommend it a lot to people needing something free. The only thing better out there that's free is GIMP.

I find it incredibly useful for annotating charts and creating simple support docs/estimation docs!

I think you may have to get in line...and it might be a loooong wait...

I don't think Phrozty will let me go anytime soon...

I mean I'm sure at some point I will annoy him sooo much that he'll give me the boot...but it may be a while.

DH is all about dna, genetics, and planets. He is really interested in those the most. He loves to learn how things was created.
