Hi all,

It's Friday, so I thought I would let you know about one issue in our team.

Basically, we are running 32-bit Windows XP. The machines have anywhere between 
2 and 4GB 
RAM. Everyone in the team gets System Out Of Memory Exceptions. When that 
happens, you have 
wasted the compile time, and then you have to shut down VS2010, start it up, 
then open up the 
solution. The solution has a significant number of projects in it. Apparently 
this problem only 
happens in 32-bit windows.

So for the whole restart process, we have assigned 10 minutes to this procedure.

Next we have logged the total crash time for our team of 7 developers (some 
days people were 
away, but it ultimately doesn't matter).

The times lost are as follows:
14th 240 mins
15th 100 mins
18th 120 mins
19th 60 mins
20th 200 mins
21st 100 mins
22nd 140 mins

we have assigned an arbitrary value against the times of $100/hour. So the loss 
of productivity is 
16 hours @ $100/hour = $1600.

Hopefully soon these figures will become a significant enough figure to justify 
an upgrade!

Regards,
Tony
