I'm not sure if I am posting this to the correct location or not. I just purchased Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional with SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. My question is, does anyone have any specific instructions or suggestions on how to best install and configure these two products to run on a stand alone Gateway MX6025 Laptop computer with an Intel Celeron 1.4 GHz processor, 760 MB of RAM running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2. If you could either point me in the right direction or provide assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

You should be fine with that, using the defaults. You can't really upgrade your processor on that machine, so you are really going to be stuck with the experience you get, good or bad. But, it shouldn't be too bad.
