Yes that's plenty of horsepower for there rigs, only thing is you may goto a coporate enterprise AV product like Norton Corp. edition. With this product you can throttle how much cpu the AV scanner uses, this is what I do. SCans take longer but they don't interfere as much

As I have said to them many times, AV comes before them and it is not open for discussion. Period. As for your WS's. I have worked in the software industry my entire career. I have never seen a company provide its programmers with HW as nice as what you give them. The only possible upgrade would be more memory. What are they developing in and what do they run on their PC's -----Original Message----- From: Gagrani, Kishore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 10:47 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: Win2K PCs for developers Hi everyone , I was wondering what kind of Hardware/Software configuration is used normally for software developer's computers ? We are a small company and have about 10 software developers (they think they are the smartest and intelligent people around, huh !!!) . We have given them P-4/1.5Ghz/Win2K/256Mb/SCSI 18Gb HDDwith Adaptec SCSI cards), these are Compaq Workstations . Each of them have two 21" monitors connected to their computers. On top of Win2K they have McAfee virus scanner. They bitch about having the virus scanner (say it slow their computers) and demand more memory and isolation from company's main LAN . So , I'm trying to figure out what is generally used out else where ? I'll really appreciate any answers or pointing to some surveys conducted by someone regarding this. Thank you very much in advance, Regards, Kishore ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
