(with apologies for the boring nature of this question)
My poor 2004-vintage development laptop is chugging slowly, what with Vista + Visual Studio 2008 + Oracle 10g Express (amongst other things - no games though). What's a good spec PC these days? I really just want to be able to launch an ASP.NET app in debug, in less time than it takes me to forget what I was trying to debug in the first place.
I am thinking Fujitsu Siemens P5625 Tower PC (2.1 GHz; 4GB RAM; 500GB HD)
or maybe for a laptop option, Sony VAIO NS11J/S (2GHz; 4GB RAM; 320GB HD)
-both come in around £500 - these things have got much better and cheaper over the past few years!
