Recommended specs for Windows Development computer.

[Erik Beugelaar]

Hi,

I would advise this hardware:

- LGA 1152 motherboard (with PCIe ports)
- Intel i5 processor
- 8GB RAM or more
- 256GB SSD or better 256GB M.2 NVMe if supported by your Mac

OR use VM's (which I am using on a 32GB Mac machine):

- Expand your current RAM in your Mac to at least 16GB or more if possible
- Replace all mechanical HDD's with SATA SSD or even better M.2 NVMe SSD (minimum 512GB)
- Use Parallels Desktop

Just my 2 cents...

    Hi
    
    I need to buy a new desktop PC to be used for LiveCode development including using the new camera control and the player as I am working on a cross platform application for Mac and Windows. 
    
    I have been developing the application  on on a Mac to this point but need to have the PC for testing and debugging in a Windows environment. 
    
    Being a Mac guy I am not sure what I should look for in a PC— processor, speed, RAM, etc. I bought a cheap desktop  PC, an Acer AXC-230 a year or so ago for that purpose but that is painfully slow. So I don’t want to make that mistake again. 
    
    With the comments on speed problems on Windows in the earlier thread I don’t want to get something underpowered. 
    
    Any suggestions? What are people using?
    
    Thanks in advance.
