Running CF Developer edition on a Netbook

Question

Hi,I am thinking about purchasing a netbook, and I am wondering if the CF Developer edition would run on it.  I looked at the CF9 system requirements and among others it asks for Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon processors.  So it doesn't look like it will work on something like Intel Atom.   Does anyone have any experience running CF on a netbook?  Thanks!http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/systemreqs/ML

Ah, sorry, meant to confirm that. Yes: Windows 7 Home Edition.I think I'm the only person on the planet who prefers Vista (although I'd not try running Vista on a wee machine like that!).--Adam

I've got one of these as my "travel" laptop (where the trip might be 2-3 months long): http://www.notebooks.com/2009/05/26/hp-mini-110-netbook-introduced/

I run CF8, CF9, Apache, SQL Server 2008, CF Builder and half a dozen Firefox windows on it simultaneously, and it runs fine.

It was quite sluggish with the default 1GB of RAM, but I upped it to 2GB and it's fine. It's not like lightning, but it's fine for working now.

I will also say that the display on it is too small for coding on for any length of time, but if one plugs ane external monitor in, it supports 1280x1024 OK, which is adequate to work on. Plus I have plugged in a keyboard and a mouse.
