i need to run [VB.net](http://VB.net) at home. i have an apple computer. clearly, that’s not going to happen. what’s the bare minimum XP running computer i can buy that will slug its way through a CIS major’s homework? i don’t need anything fancy. just something that will work for what i need to do. i don’t want to do anything with it but homework. if i bought one used, what should i expect to pay? ---

If you’re going to be a CIS major you’ll want a good PC. Visual Studio is a resource HOG. If this is your career path and you can’t afford a real good PC you should probably sell the Mac and use that money to get a real good PC. Good example, my dev box here at work has 3 gig of ram, and my laptop is a 2ghz pmobile with a gig of ram. VS 2005 Pro is much happier on my desktop, but runs ok on the laptop. ---

EDIT: that sounds like a pretty sick setup that you have. ---
