Hardware requirements for developing S60 3rd ed applications

[mark.wind]

I don't know you but I find that starting the emulator in 3rd version is really too long.
I have a Pentium III 733 and 512 MB RAM, that runs well for Visual Studio .NET and other applications but testing and debugging for S60 is incredibly long.
I read that carbide.c++ express require a 1800 MHz processor (that's for Java stuff I think) :-(.
Do I really require a new PC?

This is from S60 3rd Ed. MR release note:

Basic Requirements:
- Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4
  Tested with Windows XP SP2.
- IDE:  CodeWarrior for Symbian OS v3.1
- ARM RVCT compiler 2.2 build 503 or newer is supported.
  (Version 3.0 is not supported by SDK toolchain)
- Minimum 1 GHz Pentium PC, 256 MB of memory
- Up to 1.5 GB free disk space, other requirements as required by the IDE
  used.

But I don't personally feel this is enough. But they have mentioned it as a Basic Requirements ;)

My system configuration is P4 3.00 GHz with 2 GB of RAM. Still the emulator seems to be taking more time but it's better than worst.
