| 753740 | 2009-03-06 02:56:00 | Whats wrong with a USB -> Serial adapter? Visual Studio isnt that much of a memory hog, it runs on 512MB. Nobody said it would be lightning fast though ... |

| 753741 | 2009-03-06 03:01:00 | I used to run it on a athlon 2800 with 512mb ram quite happily, i wasnt doing overally intensive stuff with it but it wasnt "slow" at all really | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 753742 | 2009-03-06 04:08:00 | I run Visual Studio on an Athlon 1800+ and it is quite usable. My total memory usage (according to task manager) is still less than 512mb (about 480mb). Theres nothing wrong with USB-> serial adapters, i figured if they were any good, my company would used them. We just currently put in an additional pci COM port card in addition to the 2 provided by the motherboard. |
