Hi,
I am very new to VB.Net

At present I am having VS2003 - P4 - intel - 2.4GHz - RAM 512 MB - HD
80 GB - OS Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.

I am thinking of going with latest version VS2008. What is minimum

Need advice

Also, you should consider using an ISP which doesn't block google ;-)

a.. 384 MB of RAM or more (768 MB of RAM or more for Windows Vista)

nope, I would say 1GB at least even on xp pro

I agree, but I they are stating the /minimum/ requirements, not the
requirements for sanity.

Andrew,

Your comments crack me up.

OP,

I also agree that for smooth performance you will want to shove as
much RAM as affordable in you machine (I'd go 2gb minimum personally).
I've run 2008 on a 512mb machine and compile times and loading times
were horrible at best. The usually small price of increasing your RAM
will quickly pay for itself in the amount of time saved.

That's actually (just like the other replies) a decent development machine,
with the same exception as the rest...you need more memory....and so does
your computer.... I've found that 1 GB isn't really enough (and that's
double what you've got). 2 GB and your machine quits slowing down while you
are compiling medium sized solutions (solutions with several projects and
about 50+ classes [off top of head]).
