Hi I`ve got some maybe not exactly programming subject, but also related with FLEX.
I`m building apps on my notebook with some Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM. I want to buy some good desktop comp to improve performance etc. Do you have some observations, experience - how can we make the best environment for Flex programming ? I`m talking about a situation, when we need to start Oracle database, LCDS server , and huge Flex Builder running tomcat, some firefox for testing, second one for some resources etc etc I hate it when I`m waiting 10 seconds for compilation, or when i open a file - eclipse hangs for few seconds. When I compile each few minutes - it looks that almost one hour each day i spend waiting for compilation etc. So the question is - does anybody made some tests comparing such a 'programming environment' performance on different hardwares Is it better to buy faster 2 core proc @3Ghz, or quad @2Ghz , does it make difference to invest into some super-fast memory, faster HDD or maybe two HDD in raid to gain speed ? The other point is how to best configure the sofware, so that it will use these resources - right now I have 4GB ram (from which XP supports 3) , but eclipse is using max about 400. Why can`t it use 1400 and work faster? When I set java params to use 1024M of memory - it doesn`t work. How about the system - XP 32/64bit ? or Vista-shit ? Generally I think you know what I mean - How to prepare best environment ? Regards
