When looking for the best setup for software development, you don&#8217;t necessarily need huge volumes of sophistication, but at the same time you also don&#8217;t want to be stuck with something that can&#8217;t keep up with your needs. To quickly compile code, you&#8217;ll want something with a decent modern processor and a solid RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-a-software-developer-needs-a-solid-ram\">Why a Software Developer Needs a Solid RAM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Computer random access memory (<strong>RAM<\/strong>) is one of the most important components that determines your system&#8217;s performance.&nbsp;<strong>RAM<\/strong>&nbsp;gives applications a place to store and access data on a short-term basis. It stores the information your computer is actively using so that it can be accessed quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So this means that if your <strong>RAM<\/strong> is low, you cannot run multiple programs at once, especially if they are heavy programs. For instance, you cannot run Android Studio and PhotoShop applications on a <strong>2GB RAM<\/strong> or even on 4GB &#8211; your computer will run very slow and hang and you will be forced to switch it off using the computer&#8217;s button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-ram-size-for-a-software-developer\">Recommended RAM Size For a Software Developer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are just into web development, then a <strong>4GB RAM<\/strong> is sustainable, but that also depends on what type of applications you are running on your system. If you are considering mobile app development then <strong>8GB<\/strong> is the recommended RAM size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What they carry vary by what they are programming.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hyper-v-and-hardware-virtualization-for-pcs\">Hyper-V and Hardware Virtualization For PCs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyper-V is a virtualization software released in 2016 by Microsoft. It\u2019s built into Windows and is widely recognized as a major competitor to VMware Fusion and Oracle VM VirtualBox. Hyper-V can be used to virtualize hardware components and&nbsp;operating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardware virtualization involves creating a virtual version of an operating system or computer as opposed to a physical version.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnsstuff.com\/virtualization-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hardware virtualization technology<\/a>&nbsp;was developed by AMD and Intel for their server platforms and was intended to improve processor performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This technology was also designed to overcome basic virtualization challenges, like translating instructions and memory addresses and running emulators<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardware virtualization is also referred to as hardware-assisted virtualization. It involves embedding virtual machine software into a server\u2019s hardware component. This software goes by several names, but \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnsstuff.com\/vm-performance-monitoring-tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">virtual machine monitor<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnsstuff.com\/what-is-hypervisor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hypervisor<\/a>\u201d are the ones most commonly used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-check-if-virtualization-enabled\">How to Check if Virtualization Enabled<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a software developer, if you are aiming to build mobile apps either with Android Studio or React Native on a PC, ensure that virtualization is enabled or that at least the PC has this features embedded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To check if Hyper-V is enabled run this code on your command prompt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code lang=\"bash\" class=\"language-bash\">systeminfo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"305\" src=\"https:\/\/codeflarelimited.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hyperv.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codeflarelimited.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hyperv.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/codeflarelimited.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hyperv-300x153.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2nwiki.2n.cz\/pages\/viewpage.action?pageId=75202968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See how to enable Hyper-V in the BIOS for various computer models<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are developing games, then getting a laptop with a solid graphics card may also be worth your while.
