It is more an art than science. Quite often, the best way to go is to check out the OS and VB requirements, try them, and see if they work out. If you are installing, try to come up with a number for disk that includes not just programs and data, but include the use of temproray storage as well. Then, go get a machine configured that way, and see how well it goes. A little quality control testing is better than anyone's educated guess.

(and make sure you've not tinkered with the test machine, such as in development or anything at all. It must be a clean build)

but, in i have p3 with 128 SDRAM.. after some 3-5 hours of work on the program with the addition of other application like ms work ,..etc , some times i go the message out off memory.!! soo i don't now..what do you think

hummmmmm may-be you've a memory leak or a resource deallocation problem (Windows does perform very bad in this area, since Win 3.1 :D )... does your program allocate a lot of menus, buttons, dialogs, bitmaps, brushes, icons, etc ? It's true that it's Art. What you can come up with is looking at the memory consumpted by your program by looking at the "task manager" (processes tab) - I suggest you visualize also the "VM memory" column. Why ? Because : a) you'll see if your program leaks, ie if memory consumpted augments unduely with each program operation b) you'll know how much memory your program takes, and thus requires...

do u think this seems acceptable: * Minimum Hardware requirements: For Client Package :- ------------------------------- - Pentium® 90MHz or higher microprocessor. - 5 MB Free disk space. - 24MB RAM for Windows 95, 32MB for Windows NT. - VGA 640x480 or higher-resolution screen supported by Microsoft Windows. For Server Package: ------------------------------ - Pentium® 233MHz or higher microprocessor. - 50 MB Free disk space. - 128 MB RAM for Windows 9x, 256MB for Windows NT. - VGA 640x480 or higher-resolution screen supported by Microsoft Windows.

it's very big in memory and on disk. 50MB for a server : it's more than the MySql server, it's more or less what Adobe Premiere takes... 128MB RAM : for itself alone ? That's total madness IMHO (for your information my Apache server takes 40MB, MySqlD 8MB, one big IE can take 12MB and this browser's instance takes 32MB) which kind of software have you done ?

heloo VGR,,, am not that mean... for server program i put 50 MB HD space, not only to run the program i considered the package size and some big amount of space for the database.. and regarding memory 128 not only for my program i meant for the hall system. let me tell u some thing about my program .. i will load at run time winsock control for each connection .. so i think this will talk space from the memory loading and unloading again..! is it enough 32MB for the server program only. Really now am confused.. Becasue ur tell me the requirements for the program alone and i have seen so packages will tell you the requirements for the all the system.. thanks..

yes. Right. But measure first what YOUR software requires, then add some "fat" for Zindoze and other programs, and eventually come up with a system requirements amount :D

* Minimum Hardware requirements: thank you experts.. i think this is what i need.. For Client Package :- ------------------------------- - Pentium® 90MHz or higher microprocessor. - 5 MB Free disk space. - 8MB RAM for Windows 95 - VGA 640x480 or higher-resolution screen supported by Microsoft Windows. For Server Package: ------------------------------ - Pentium® 233MHz or higher microprocessor. - 50 MB Free disk space. - 16 MB RAM for Windows 9x - VGA 640x480 or higher-resolution screen supported by Microsoft Windows.
