Re: WDSc workstation requirements

Charles,

I run WDSC on a 256mb 600Mhz laptop, and it is acceptable, unless im running
WAS test environment, which really slows it down.

for RPG development, I never use LPEX, as it seems to be fairly hungry, I
still use CODE400.

At work I use a 2.2Ghz XP box with 1Gb of RAM, which runs ok most of the
time, but still locks up occaisonally.


cheers
Colin.W
