Hi Del,
>FYI, I had SQL Server Express 2005 on my laptop, which has on 512MB, and it ran fine. Because I wanted SQL Profiler and some other things, I uninstalled it and installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. Developer Edition recommends at least 1GB RAM, but after a couple of weeks, it appears to do well enough (knock on wood).

That's good to know. Thanks for the reply.

Alan
