Peter, for your situation being a contracted developer I would simply put some ROI behind it. Your time is very calculated so that makes it all the easier as I am guessing you bill out by the hour. A few years back when I worked in a dept that wasn't so savvy on keeping pc hardware up to date, and I needed a faster PC. But being that I knew I would get challenged for even asking I first started counting all the seconds/minutes it took to do everything on my very sssllooOOOooww PC. I did that for a week and then went to my manager and gave a projection of how much time I was going to be wasting in the next year by having to reboot twice a day, wait for applications to start up, wait for applications to respond, etc. When it was all said and done the ROI was all laid out, and guess what... I got a new PC :-) I know every IT environment is different though and you may be fighting a completely different corporate personality than I was, so good luck!

Aaron, that could be easier said than done. The pc I have to use at work, is maxed out at 512MB Ram (Dell GX150 shipped in April 2001!) As I'm a contracted developer, I don't have any say in upgrades. And I'm not allowed to bring my own laptop (Inspiron 6000 with 1GB, use it for web development in WDSC at home). So some of use are forced to use the Lite version or fall back to CODE (not so nice) or SEU (eeeewwwww) Peter Colpaert Application Developer PLI - IT - Kontich, Belgium ----- Yoda of Borg are we.
