>I've had one too many computers with less than 1 gig of memory and I will never do it again. IMHO, a computer used for development should be fast and have lots of RAM. I have lots of stuff open when I'm working ... if I have to wait for any length of time for my computer to respond, I get very, very frustrated. The more RAM, the better.

>I think it truly is memory-related, and I think the reason I've had this happen occasionally is because I will keep Visual Studio running for days at a time without restarting it or rebooting my computer, with lots of compiles going on. I dunno ... like I said, it never causes me problems and usually goes away by itself without me having to shut down Visual Studio.

FYI
MS .Net manager in BG recommend developer workstations for VS2005 to be with 2GB RAM.
