My development machine has a 128G SSD. I recently upgraded to VS2013 Ultimate, and found that it ate 7.3G of it. In comparison, my VS2010 takes up just over 500M.
I cannot imagine why this is so much larger, and suspect I have a bunch of stuff on here I don't need. Does anyone have any way to characterize where that space is going, and what I might be able to do to get some of it back?
No, you cannot.
Per the Microsoft website, VS 2013 requires 20GB.
Hardware requirements
1.6 GHz or faster processor
1 GB of RAM (1.5 GB if running on a virtual machine)
20 GB of available hard disk space
5400 RPM hard disk drive
DirectX 9-capable video card that runs at 1024 x 768 or higher
display resolution
I am surprised that you're around 7GB
Maybe you should look at VS2013 Online Advanced, if you're really interested in HD space:
Hardware requirements
1.6 GHz or faster processor
1 GB of RAM (1.5 GB if running on a virtual machine)
5 GB of available hard disk space
5400 RPM hard drive
DirectX 9-capable video card running at 1024 x 768 or higher display
resolution
I Google so that you don't have to™

Planning on getting an 8gb ram laptop, at least 256gb ssd, with core i5(at least 8th gen) with financial management, I have seen post of some people saying 8gb ram is not enough to run intelliJ IDEA, some even say 16gb is just manageable and as I only intend to run just the ide before moving to android studio for building apps though I intend to get an android device for emulation alongside the android studio so I dont in any case use the virtual device, what do you guys suggest about getting the 8gb ram laptop, do you guys think the ssd can speed up my compilation without lagging or I should try to get a higher ram. Besides, I have a Lenovo thinkpad X140e mini laptop with 3gb ram, amd A4 series chip, 256gb HDD, and the laptop is so slow as it takes about 2 minutes to compile a simple println statement and after compiling about 5 codes, it might just freeze for more than 6 minutes, need help from experienced users and the time it takes to compile a code in the ide (those with the 8gb ram laptop and ssd)
I have a Mac OS X with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM and when I start unreal engine it complaints about Low RAM and asks that for best performance I should have at least 8 GB of RAM.
I'm not sure why is this is case, is it possible that its getting a lower share of RAM or something similar?
The Unreal Editor version is 4.7.5
Edit: The processor is 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, and is 64 bit.
Edit: The graphic processor is Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB.
Why would UE4 not be able to access all of your RAM? I do not consider that case very likely.
Also, I would not worry about the RAM usage of UE4 too much. I do a lot of work with the engine and it rarely uses more than 3GB of RAM. Just make sure that your system as a whole has enough RAM for the running processes to prevent swapping.
Anyway, the bottleneck in your system is probably the graphics processor, so if your engine runs too slowly you should reduce the performance setting inside the engine.
I run a Joomla website which is updated to the last version, 3.3.4 stable.
But when I try to save an article or manage old ones it takes too much time to have the job done and my servers 8 GB RAM usage jumps at 100% and after that the website goes down.
The server has this hardware properties:
RAM: 8GB
CPU: AMD Athlon DualCore(2x 3000 MHz)
HDD: 500GB it has used only 50GB until now
we are installing it on a box that doesn't have much space and we can't seem to find the required disk space requirements
The box (and MSDN) says 2.2GB, but that's probably for full install with the MSDN stuff.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0" is 700Mb on my machine with C++ and c# installed.
Figure a Gb with any stuff it's stuck somewhere else and MSDN.
Well, a very unscientific survey of my dev PC tells me it uses 1.67 Gb.
Depends which options you install, I suppose...
The min system requirements can be found Professional Edition system requirements
Hardware requirements:
Minimum: 2.0 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB HDD
Recommended: 2.6 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB HDD
The min is really 8gb, your forgetting the space you need to run it, compile, sql databases, etc that sort of thing.
i need to run a few visual studios on windows XP and it seems to take up a lot of memory. i am also running resharper which is a memory hog.
i am running 32 bit XP. How much memory can i put into my machine until i get to the point where the OS hits its limit.
Also, any other ways of running multiple visual studio without such slow performance.
32-bit Operating Systems are limited to 4 GB of RAM, which may or may not be enough for you. Also, I think Windows shows 3 GB of RAM if you install 4 GB.
I suggest you switch to 64-bit and upgrade to 8 GB if you can.
UPDATE: See Jeff's blog post on the subject: Dude, Where's My 4 Gigabytes of RAM?
The maximum amount of memory that can be seen by 32bit WinXP is somewhere between 3 and 4 gigabytes depending on your chipset.
I have also run into issues running multiple instances of VS when I had resharper installed. The only thing you can do is run 64bit XP with more memory, or not use resharper (which is a bummer).
32-bit Windows kernel divides the 4GB virtual addressing space in 2GB/2GB partitions. If you feed the /3GB switch to NTLDR it will offer 1GB kernel space / 3GB user mode space. Note that this NOT implies that you can't write software to take advantage of machines with 32-bit CPUs and address more than 4GB at once.
A workaround is the hardware-supported feature to access the remaining memory in banks or "windows" since the CPU still sees a maximum of 4GB addressable space at once. Some database and GIS software offer this possibility. This is called Physical Address Extensions and allows to use (not addressing at once) up to 64GB with 36-bit addresses. WinXP offers AWE, an API built on top of PAE.
That's the theory. For using Visual Studio you can get the full 4GB for your system or upgrade to a 64-bit OS with more RAM. This only if VS offers a 64-bit version.
"Also, any other ways of running multiple visual studio without such slow performance."
+1 trick: you should use a RAM disk (download) to accelerate I/O.
If you're using - and hopefully do - source-managament system (ie. Subversion), you must just checkout your projects there. VS.NET makes tons of I/O calls, and RAM disks are much faster than real disks.
CAUTION! If you turn off your computer, RAM Disk disappers.
