No matter how much RAM I have, SharePoint is unimpressed.
|
|
|
|
|
That's because SharePoint is like a spoiled child. Give me, give me, etc. 
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I need to know who vote for more than 16G

Somebody showing off

I managed to get a new PC with 24GB, and this has paid for itself over again by now with the highest work output I've ever done.

I can get as much as I like.
I have to share with my colleagues though, who have a virtual workplace on the same machine.
I recently got a bit extra, because I do all the heavy work 
I believe (yes, I am not sure, hardware never really was my thing) it is 4GB at the moment, which is the same as I have at home.
It's an OO world.
public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

I voted 16GB. Reason: My boss said "Just tell me what computer you want". Result: I now have everything I need, including a lot of RAM and two nice portrait-format monitors 
|
|
|
|
|
Ha ... it is you who have voted 16GB 
Hope you got a nice Boss 
|

I actually find that clever. Most of us programmers are just small nerds inside. Having a big bad computer makes us all warm and fuzzy inside. Hence we get happy and therefore a lot more efficient/constructive.
Hardware costs are nothing compared to the extra development time generated by frustrated programmers (come one, do you really take time to find the best approaches when you have to swear over your computer every day?).

Absolutely - I guess this was also the idea my boss had. Maybe I should mention that he himself is a programmer - and a nerd. He always has the lates iPad, iPhone, the biggest Mac etc.. And he thinks that if we want to create good code we should have everything we need. And honestly, if you compare the costs of a 27'' Mac with 16GB to the costs of a 'normal' PC you will find room for a lot of memory.
My colleagues are also happy - one has a nice SSD, he compiles now 10 times faster, another one has a second 27'' display attached to his 27'' Mac and so on..
And the result is in deed: We all are happy and have a lot of fun doing our work
(I used to have such a Mac, but since I do mainly Windows development my boss 'allowed' me to change).

Its not just the config but the weight of laptops matters!
Recently by request few employees upgraded to higher config (than required) machines out of curiosity. And now they leave their laptops at office complaining they are heavy to carry!! 
So possibly, "how much heavy is your laptop?" can be the next poll!!!
|
|

I agree - that could be fun. Personally I need a small truck to transport my laptop - and a trailer for the power supply which is almost just as heavy as the laptop itself...
I blame myself for wanting 17 inches (screen size that is) - 14 had been more than enough seeing that I'm using an external monitor anyway.

14" is a good compromise I find, I never understood why you would want to have a laptop bigger than that. It turns it from a laptop into a desktop.

Get them to delete a few big files, and use smaller fonts. It'll be easier to carry then.

Sounds like a great Idea!!

Just 20 years back, 1GB meant you had that much disk space!
