    Minimum system requirements to run .net?

    Anybody know? Specifically Visual Basic .net not the whole Visual Studio. I looked up the software at a bunch of sites including Micro$oft and i can't find a dam thing. Do you guys think 64Mb ram, PII 450Mhz running win 98 would be enough? I probably should buy another 64Mb of ram. But do i have to upgrade to Windows XP. I hope not.

    That would probably be enough, except it wount run on windows 98.

    You need Windows NT4 and up to run it.

    BTW, here are the requirements. I got them from off of Microsoft's website.

    I am running a 833mhz intel, 312mb ram on WinXP, and the IDE is a little sluggish. I would hate to see it running on MS's minimum requirements
