Hi I want to move from Visual Studio 6 to .net 2003. I am developing
from home on a stand alone PC. I need to find out the minimum
requirements and have outlined below.

I tried this with XP Profesional but could not get .NET to work with
SQL Server 2000

CPU AMD 2.4G
Memory 512 DDR400
Gforce 32Meg video card
DVD Plextor x16

If there is a problem with XP professional Can I install 2000 Server on
a basic PC like this ?

Any probllamatic areas please advise of upgrade but cost is a premium

TIA

Your system may not be the best, but it is good enough to run VS.NET2003, I
used to run VS2003 on a AMD 500MHz/512MB box, a bit slow, but I did quite a
few projects with it. WinXP Pro is the ideal .NET development OS. So, your
hardware/OS should be OK, unless you have defective hardware, like bad
memory chips, or something.
 
For my current project, I run VS20003, IIS, SQL Server, and Borland
J/Builder all simultaniously on a 1Ghz centrino laptop without any
problems - although I have 1G of RAM, which is really the most important
factor to avoid things from thrashing.
Especially if you can add another 512M, I think you'll have no problems.

Hi Des.

In order for anybody to help you, comments like "I tried this with XP
Professional but could not get .NET to work with SQL Server 2000" are not
helpful. Can you please elaborate? What errors are you getting etc? I too had
some problems with .NET and SQL Server but most were solved by installing the
latest Jet/OLEDB etc drivers.

Installing SQL Server 2000 should not be a problem, unless you are trying to
use the Enterprise Edition, which requires a server OS.
If you are trying to use a previously-installed SQL Server instance, what do
you see in the VS 2003 server explorer window? If your instance is there,
can you access the database(s), etc.?
