Firstly, I'm quite happy with VS performance generally (especially as an
ex-Delphi2005 developer!)

However, I'm getting a new PC for dev purposes and wonder where to spend the
money?

Dual Xeons?
Pentium Xtreme (dual cores)?
Memory, memory and more memory?
64bit computing?
XPPro or Server 2003?

What mostly limits VS performance?

I'm VS2003/C# but will jump to VS2005 as soon as it's launched. And all
Business Apps with lots of SQL Server access.

Thanks in advance

I thought I was alone in this predicament. I am still trying to toy around
with Delphi2005Pro only to find out that I do not have enough to develop Web
apps. Anyway, I installed VS2003 Standard and so far everything appears to
come by easily. I am learning C# at a very fast rate and almost ready to
convert some PHP apps.

In answer to your hardware I would look at the pocket book at this point
since almost all pentium class will run VS2005.
The OS depends on the server that comes with it. XPPro as a limited version
of IIS(v5.1) which not as powerful as IIS that comes with server2003

Another question I would like to breing up is - will vs2005 Beta2 run in the
same machine where I have vs2003?

Yup. VS versions can run side-by-side (minus different versions of
2005). I've currently got VC6, VS2002, VS2003, and VS2005 installed on
this machine for compatibility reasons.

HTH,
