is 1.7 GHz and 1 GB of RAM memory to low for .NET Framework 4 applications???

[Alexander]

It is simply a framework so it should work far under a gigabyte, although you can verify this yourself in the recommended requirements page for the appropriate frameworks:
.NET Framework System Requirements (MSDN)

It appears 512Mbs of RAM should be sufficient to build with and run full features of the framework.

then i don't know why my software is so slow...when i run it on my neighbours computer (which is stronger than mine) it runs normaly

[gregwarner]

Could have other factors slowing it down. Do you have any extra junk installed on your machine that you don't need?

[Tonchi]

hmmmm maybe i have...but i doubt it that that is a problem...when i run it in my school it is slow too...but in school we have installed on Deep Freaze on each computer. It's the same configuration as my laptop :S

Find out what is running out your system. Take a look at your memory and cpu usage in Task Manager.

If for e.g. it is around 100% or almost entire memory while running the .net app, then kill it and again see the state.

Check other applications that are running for memory usage.

You can google and download sysinternals utility called "autoruns.exe" to clean up many of unwanted applications installed on your system

i clean my laptop's HDD, i just need to defragment my disk...but i've put my task manager window on left and my application on right and when i click to open a new form inside my application CPU usage gets to 100% and it's on 50% when it's only main window open...BUT now it's a little faster then before...can it be good after disk defragment or i should rather use autoruns.exe???

[Tonchi]

but when i close task manager it is just like before :S

[fayyazlodhi]

Disk defragment is going to affect speed when it ends up copying all of your data on disk which is sparsely distributed since it will have it all/most in one place and would require less time to read/write from disk. You should keep doing it any way once in a while to keep a healthy system but it will take a good deal of time to complete.

Auto runs.exe is going to get rid of unwanted software installed and running on your machine wasting memory. So that addresses a different thing.

[Tonchi]

tnx...i will tell you what is the result after i try :)

[fayyazlodhi]

Against each process in your Task manager try to see the "Description" tab. Either you see a famous name application such as one from Microsoft or Google or AVG. Otherwise "Description" is empty for system applications. You can verify that by typing the name of exe and google to ensure it is a known standard application.

If you can't find any of above or you see weird "Description" it might be some worm / unwanted app. Pay special attention to those eating more memory. Those should be removed through autoruns.exe and are going to impact running of your .net app

It probably depends more on what your program is doing than on the framework itself.
