I've also got 2 Gigs of RAM on a Dell I use @ work.... I run a bunch of stuff at a time.... fill both the dual monitors with all kinds of stuff..
It's always run well... I've had no problems with Eclipse on this one... on my old Toshiba (with 512 RAM), sometimes it was just fair. I'm also trying out Eclipse on my new MacBook.... but I haven't done anything really.... it has 1 Gig of RAM. So far, I'm kind of amazed with it.... this MacBook seems to manage it's RAM so well!!! :-) Yves On 6/25/07, Jaime Metcher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: James Wolfe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Tuesday, 26 June 2007 8:47 AM > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: Re: CF Editor > > > > > <snip> > > > > CF Eclipse has lots of nice features, and if it didn't use over > > 400MB of RAM + VM (not an exaggeration), I think it might even be > > considered usable.
