ReSharper suggests 4 GB of memory. I just upgraded my PC from 512 MB to 4 GB of memory (I have a Dell). Is there anything I need to do in Windows after installing this memory or should it be good to go right now? I was expecting to see a big boost in Visual Studio but it still seems slow.

A:
Check out the new Resharper 4.5 release. They've done lots to improve speed.
You can also turn of some of the Visual Studio Intellisense options so VS doesn't do the same work as R#.
To disable VS IntelliSense:
- Tools | Options
- Text Editor | C# | IntelliSense
- Uncheck "Show completion list..."
- Text Editor | C# | Formatting
- Uncheck all 3 options

I had several problems with resharper that eventually led me to uninstall it completely. I am happy with the performance but could have been happier with resharper.

If you have the Solution-Wide Analysis option enabled, this may eat a lot of memory and cause performance problems. It's best to leave it off unless doing project-project refactoring or for the occasional code analysis.

It really depends on the type and most importantly the size of your project. Resharper has always been a huge performance killer when working with large web projects like ours because it seems to have trouble coping with lots of aspx and ascx files. Our solution consists of 24 subprojects and 328 aspx pages using 640 ascx controls and sometimes it takes up to 20 seconds to open an ascx in text view (let alone design view). And our machines at work are equipped with 4GB of Ram and some with 8GB.

It is not about memory. You only need a good CPU (they recommend a quad core.)
I have ReSharper 4.5 on a Core 2 Duo and 2 GB of RAM. It takes 15 to 30 seconds to start Visual Studio but after that everything is smooth.
