I've got 2GB. I run Eclipse, CFMX7 on IIS, Firefox, IE, Outlook, any number of Excel/MS Word documents, JMeter, VisualGC, Tomcat with Alfresco CMS. CFMX7 gets the first 1GB, all the rest fit within the second 1GB. All within physical RAM, no paging. Within Eclipse I use Ant with CFCUnit and Selenium tasks, Subclipse, XMLBuddy and CFEclipse. Right now the Eclipse instance has 235MB. > > I guess only the super rich can develop for CF at this point. 2GB of RAM pays for itself before morning tea on Monday. Everything else I mentioned above (other than the MS Office stuff) is free. What are the super rich CF developers spending their money on?
