    I'm thinking of getting into ASP web development using .NET 2008 and I'm trying to spec up a development PC and a test server.

    So far, using hardware I have available, I've come up with:

    SERVER:
    Intel 2.8Ghz P4 CPU
    2GB PC3200 DDR RAM
    250GB IDE HDD
    Windows Server 2008


    DEVELOPMENT PC:
    Intel 3.2 Ghz P4 CPU
    4GB PC3200 DDR RAM
    1TB SATA HDD
    Windows Vista Ultimate / Windows 7 BETA

    Would the above be sufficent to run this software and any additional applications (IIS, SQL etc).

    Cheers!

    I work full time in ASP .NET/SQL Development. My development laptop has 1.5 gigs and a dual core CPU. It certainly isn't as quick as I'd like it to be. So using that as a yard stick, I'd say your Development PC should be OK but I'd try to stick a faster CPU, dual or quad core as this would prove useful for compiling etc. I'd put in a lot more memory (4gig at least, 8 preferred) in the Server if you plan to run SQL on it with data intensive processing.

    Can I just point out, once again and I know that I'm starting to sound like a skipping cd, but ASP and ASP.NET are very different technologies. If you're only starting out then its better the get the distinction between the two now. If you're asking for help online, and applying for jobs further down the line, not knowing the difference is going to seriously handicap you.

    if you are just getting started you could host SQL on the your development machine. Should be no problems as long as you are not performing a lot of data intensive work
