So very well said! It's sometimes hard to get management to listen but when you start talking to them about saving some serious cash their ears tend to perk up.

Doing that it would be a must to have 64 gb of RAM. I dd a time study for a company about 6 years ago. They had 5 programmers all using older towers at the time. I came in with my laptop and took one of their files and just regenerated it and showed them the difference. It took about 2 minutes on that file verses the 40 minutes it was taking on their computer. I had them record all the time it was taking them for 30 days on files. We then used that as a ROI for new computers. We showed it was costing the company $250k a year in additional time programming not spending $25k on new systems. They felt I lied to them so they purchased one new system. The one programmer start doing more than the other 4 combined with the new computer. Within a month they all had new systems. Funny go tell someone their heart has a problem and they want to do everything they need to get it checked out and fixed. The programmer for any company is the heart and soul of it and if they don't have professional level and quality tools to do their job then you just reducing the whole company down by not doing everything you can to keep that heart pumping and flowing as best as possible.
