Laptop RAM Upgrade
Last night I finished install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Community Technology Preview (CTP) and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 - Beta 2 in a virtual machine (VM) on my laptop using VMWare. I also had in the background two downloads from LearnVisualStudio.net, a second virtual machine that I was installing Macromedia ColdFusion into and had my GMail account up. Since I formatted and re-install everything on my laptop, my hard drive space is tight (reason for hard drive upgrade) but I also had only 18MB of RAM free on the system (I remember when that was considered a lot).
My Dell Inspiron 600m will hold 2GB of RAM, and I need it to last me through the end of next year, so I bought an additional 1GB chip this morning from Crucial and should have it when my hard drive comes on Thursday. It's like breathing new life into my laptop!
