Has anyone spec’ed out a new developer PC recently? Or got any advice? We have a new IT team so I am now able to upgrade my PC! I will also be getting an MSDN subscription and will be able to choose my OS.
Current setup is Windows XP on an older PC. I develop web sites that run on Windows 2003 server. On my desktop I usually run · Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition · SQL Server Management Studio · Paint .Net (although I would also install Adobe Creative Suite on the new machine) · Remote Desktop to development server always open and to live server occasionally · Multiple browsers with dev tools installed · Microsoft Virtual PC for cross browser testing My preference would be to have a specification that would a significant upgrade without scaring the guy who has to authorize the purchase (he has not told me how much I can spend).
