That is the reason I insisted to my boss to buy me 32g ram. He told me that my other colleague has 16g ram. He told me the general manager only have 8gb ram. Both of them are using visual studio 2010. He asked me why I need to have more ram than others.
It is so hard to convince people who are not developing in visual studio every second to understand the importance of more ram for visual studio.
I convinced my boss to say apple virtual machine needs more ram.
I am using my own 30 inch lcd monitor for work and assemble the pc myself at weekends to save my boss some money to get a new pc after 4 years working for the company using a slow pc.
