As someone who uses Visual Studio 2003 everyday, I can safely say, you'll be forced to upgrade your RAM to at least 1GB to get satisfactory productivity levels, otherwise things will be caching out to disk much too often. I am speculating that the situation would be the same for VS 2005.

I am aware of that.
But if I can get D2005 running at an acceptible speed on a 512 Machine, it will have an advantage over the VS option ;)
And I think it can when the compiler-memoryleak issue is solved.
As long as I can keep the machine below the 512Mb watermark, the speed is indeed acceptable.
