Yes, RAM is your main issue. Windows barely runs well on 500mb - add some server apps and you are likely running mostly from the swap file, which is ordrs of magnitude slower.
RAM is fairly cheap these days, so go for as much as your machine will accept - 2gig is great. Personally I have 4gig in my workstation running 64 bit XP, and it handles CF, Oracle and as many desktop apps as I want to run without any complaint. -----Original Message----- From: "Doug Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: 11/19/06 8:05 AM Subject: Re: Dreamweaver is a total dog!! I am running it on a Intel 3.2ghz 500MB Ram. Maybe the ram is the problem, I am not sure. I probably need to add more being that I run CF/MSSQL/Apache/ etc on here.

I have never seen nothing lag like this thing does. My site has about 245 files and I cannot believe it cannot handle it. Sometimes I think they put too much into these visual design tools. I suppose I will go back to HS+ and be happy once again. I read all the articles on how to improve DW speed, but IMO you should not have to disable features in order to get something to work the way it should.
