I have Windows XP SP2 and 256 mb ram with a 800 Mhx processor.
Not the latest!!
It takes my computer 1 minute 36 seconds to load the Basic4PPC program.
I have a core 2 duo running at 1,8Ghz with 2048MB Ram and stil takes about 20 sec just to get a glimp at the IDE, but then cames the endless hours of fun, coding, foruing, etc...
PS: I'd like to emphatise the 20sec on a cre2 du with 2048MB, but its just hard....
