I don't know if this is an appropriate question to ask companies you're interviewing with but at this point I don't fucking care. I work for a private multimillion dollar company that specializes in IT.... but goes dumpster diving for the pcs they provide to there employees and even worse the developers that produce the software that makes them millions. I spend 30-40% of my week waiting on this piece of shit computer to do anything from startup to load the most demanding ide out there visual studios to compile the applications.

I'm currently on the job hunt and I fucking refuse to work for another IT company that can't splurge a little bit in providing adequate equipment for the job.... fucking ... refuse.

    To expand upon just how pathetic it is.

    My current pc is a hand me down from
    the manager because it was constantly crashing on him so he bought himself a new one and gave me his shit one.

    @sabshire tbh that sounds more like a software problem. When it comes to heavy-use environments, its relatively important not to have a page file... Have you examined this?

    @monr0e I have not but only because it's the entire pc that's slow not just visual studios... when I'm on my person pc things are as they should be speed wise.

    The processor is an i7 720QM at 1.6 from 2009 running super hot all the time (I've broken the laptop down and cleaned it out thinking it was dust issues but it's just poor cooling)

    It is counterproductive to use very old machines. It is a fair question to ask on an interview.

    @sabshire you can improve this, by cutting down on unnecessary processes. Besides this, consider petitioning for small upgrades to your machine. I run a 2012 era machine, and I do very well with the same.

    You should consider what changes you can make to memory allocation, to the speed of your storage array, to what you have running at the same time as your IDE, etc.

    Your hardware allocation isn't the best, but it is workable.
