Re: optimum/acceptable laptop config (Re:Mac OS X Java Performance)

So what I would like to use for developing is:
-Eclipse with plugins (IBM isn't planning to port WSAD to osx)
-Ant
-jboss (anybody have Websphere running?)
-DB (postgres or mysql)

Ill work on developing Web apps, so the performance of Swing isn't the issue. Eclipse is too slow on my current systems. DVD and divx performance is nice to know, but eclipse is my most relevant benchmark.

So how much ram and how fast must the cpu be on a mac laptop to have a acceptable (meaning sub second waits when pressed a tab etc) eclipse performance?

The very latest nightly Eclipse runs much faster than earlier versions.

Get as much RAM as you can afford, and then as much CPU as you can afford.

For webstuff you will need dual display - meaning a PowerBook.

Good luck.
