Ideal Hardware for Running Visual Studio

Are you looking for the ideal hardware specification for running on a development machine? I have to be honest that this is really down to the kind of development you are planning on doing with it, but Scott Guthrie over at Microsoft has posted an interesting article on his blog.

I would always have said that the key to a better development box is processor, processor, processor. However Scott proposes a spec which is more reliant on a speedy hard drive. Interested then check out the blog post and see what you think.

He makes a compelling point but its probably one that you need to try out. He also links to some further resources on developer specification hardware which are worth a look.
