" RAM is cheap, PC's are cheap.  There is no reason that any programmer
  today should not have a 700+ Mhz PC with 512 MB of RAM which is plenty to
  run WDSc.  If you need to run the built in WebSphere server a lot, then I
  would bump that up to 1 GB of RAM."

>From the point of view of the accountants and the managers who have to lay
out the money to provide that kind of system for 10 developers, it appears
more than just the cost of one PC.  If they didn't budget for that a year
ago when they planned what we would need it gets expensive.  If the machine
we have is less than 3 years old they say "your already at the corporate
standard - you dont need more"

And then - well - some of us will just not get to use these newer tools even
if we want to.  SEU will continue to work and there is no "apparent" cost
outlay.

(btw Ive got a 500mhz PC with 256K and that is because i was just upgraded)
