I run XP Pro, WDSCi, the Lotus Notes Client, a number of PC5250 sessions and any number of other programs, on a 2.8 ghz P4 with 1 gb. No problems at all. You just gotta learn how to tweak XP. You can run XP with hardly any extra process running. I have a computer that I use for audio recording and sequencing. These processes are a huge system hog. The system is a 2 ghz P4 w/764 mb ram running XP Home. It has only 7 processes running and it screams. It's not connected to the internet though, so it doesn't have any networking bits running. You can make XP very fast and very stable. It just takes some work to eliminate all of the goofy stuff that Microsoft/HP/Gateway/IBM/Dell/Norton and the rest thinks you need. Thanks, Mark Mark D.

Please respond to RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries <rpg400-l@midrang e.com> I also have a 512 meg machine running Win2K and it runs great for me. Even doing Joe Pluta WDSC Step by Step. Now my home machine runs XP in 512 and WDSC will barely run. So if you've got XP go for at min 1 gig of ram. My boss will let move up from this w2K machine but I think XP is too much of a resource hog to let do development on with out 2 gig Bob Anderson EDI Coordinator Kent Sporting Goods Inc.

I have 512 meg and wdsci runs acceptably. I only use it for editing green screen stuff. CODE400 is included in the package and, as you said, it runs on a less powerful pc. It can give you the same productivity boost for straight coding. To run Win XP with more than a couple of apps going you need 512 meg anyway to have a relatively pleasant experience. I bought a home pc about 18 months ago for $700 that's big enough to run WDSCI reliably. They're cheaper now. Programmers may not need a gamer type pc, but I think there's a strong business case for giving them a pc that is at least as powerful as one other people use for e-mail, word processor, spreadsheet, and web browsing. My employer is pretty frugal when it comes to pcs. -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bob Cozzi Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 11:12 AM To: 'RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries' Subject: RE: Missed the fact that a line was commented out... The problem with WDSc is the cost. It is so expensive. I know, I know it is "free" but if you don't already have a PC big enough to run it, it is a $1000 per programmer product. Granted that was $2500 per programming some 18 months ago, and will continue to fall, but so will oil prices. Today it is very costly to get into WDSc. CodeSTudio and CODE/400 can run on a Piece-of-S--- (aka "POS") PC with little trouble. Someday all PCs will have 1GB memory minimum and we'll be calling them POS's because 8 to 16 GB will be the high-end. -Bob Cozzi www.RPGxTools.com If everything is under control, you are going too slow. - Mario Andretti -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joel Fritz Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 12:27 PM To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: RE: Missed the fact that a line was commented out... Hmm...It was faster than SEU for me in about an hour. Just having the tab key move the cursor from field to field in fixed format gave me a boost. For the first week I used mostly SEU line commands and gradually learned how to use the tools in WDSCI (well I stared with CODE400.) The help that comes with the product explains the editor pretty well. ***************************** NOTICE: All e-mail sent to or from this e-mail address will be received or otherwise recorded by The Sharper Image corporate e-mail system and is subject to archival, monitoring, and review by and/or disclosure to Sharper Image security and other management.
