I've just finished installing Team System for the 4th time. This time I installed the database portion on my old computer I call a server...  It's a Athlon 900Mhz with 500Mbs of RAM.  I then installed the team foundation server stuff on a virtual PC instance that I gave 500MB of RAM.  In addition to the server stuff I decided to also install Visual Studio on this VPC instance.  So far it seems to be much faster.  Maybe I can actually work on a complete project now that I have a little better performance than before.
