Re: performance of dual core processors for .NET

It's not too bad, really.

All the basic stuff works - but then again, I bought a very generic system
(a very common Dell) just to help make sure I wouldn't have driver issues.

The only non-standard hardware I have is my fancy Logitech mouse - which has
64-bit drivers. I did find drivers for both the Phaser and Laserjet printers
that we have.

The only ones without drivers are the wide-format printers that we have.
Ironically, these wide format printers were bought at my request, so that
engineers can print out UML and ORD diagrams - both of which tend to be
pretty large.

I had the exact same problem last year with lack of driver support for
printers, PCI Wi-Fi cards and so on. My god support for Windows XP Pro
64-bit sux let's hope that it will all be better with the 64-bit edition of
Windows Vista.

My development workstation is a recently purchased Dell Dimension C521
(Dual Core AMD Athlon, 4GB of memory) costing about $800. I'm using the
Integrated Video card, the low end processor, and a relativly cheap hard
disk.

(I do plan to get a PCI-Express dual DVI video card here shortly though).

I run WinXP-64 as my operating system, and use Visual Studio 2005 pretty
much all day long. It's... great. I would recommend this configuration to
just about everyone.

The only issue has been drivers for WinXP64 - especially printer drivers.
For some reason, HP just doesn't seem to acknowledge that 64-bit exists
for their consumer printer product lines.

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right group to ask this question. I
thought
may be some of you might have answer to my question. Now that said, here
is
my question.

I am planning to purchase dual core processor desktop for .NET
application
development. The processor is intel dual core processor with 4 GB RAM.
I
need to know how the performance of the iis would be with this dual core
processor? Most of the time I will be using VS.NET to develop the
applications and sometimes debugging them if there are any errors. So
would
it be worth to buy dual core processor or buy single processor with 4 GB
RAM?
Which one will have better performance?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Sridhar.
