Server and Client minimum requirement

[LuxCoder]

Hello,

I am developing a simple crm application for my business using VS2005 and its default mssql server. The configuration of my server machine is:

Motherboard: INTEL DQ35MPE
Processor: P4 2.4 QuadCore Q6600
RAM : STRONTIUM RAM 2 GB PC667 DDR2 DIMM
Ethernet : ETHERNET 520 TX -D-LINK 2 nos

The configuration of 9 nos client machine is which is connected via switch to the server:

Processor: Celeron 2.6 ghz
RAM: 256 MB

Now, i want to know the following:

1. How do i configure my application so that it works over the LAN in all clients and is connected to server affecting real time update of the database on the server?

2. What are the applications that i need to install on the client machines? Do i have to install the whole VS package? If not, what are the components need to be installed?

If there is any other thing that i need to take care of before hand, please advise!

Thanks & regards

Lux.

1. Develop a Client / Server application if it is a Window Base. Better if you develop an Web Base application.

2. If it is a Client/Server apps, Client program must be installed in the client PC. If it is a Web application, no need to install anything in the client. Browser is enough.

The clients are probably going to be dog slow. 256MB of RAM is barely enough for an OS.
What OS are these running anyway?

Once you make your client application you would then make a setup package for it and use that to install on the clients. There is now configuration to speak of that would give you real time updates you would just write that in that the application itself.

Each client will definitely need the .NET framework but whatever is needed can be added to the setup project. You can also publish the application via Click Once but you should read up on this first as it has some drawbacks or caveats.
