Hardware Requirements

I suspect that I shouldnt be asking this but ...
I am looking for the current hardware requirements for Yukon. I am
considering purchasing a new server to run a development environment but I
dont know if it will be enough. Can someone help? What are the requirements
for Beta 2?
Thanks. Larry.The requirements are nothing special for Yukon other than Win2003. It will
be more what your app will need to run properly.

product will be much help to you.
It's unlikely that Yukon will require any more powerful hardware than SQL
Server 2000 to run applications of similiar size and complexity. You should
feel comfortable sizing your hardware assuming that it will be SQL2000 and
simply upgrade to Yukon when you're ready. Keeping in mind that Yukon is
still many many months from shipping...

Thank you for posting in our community. I believe this is not the appropriat
e
queue to discuss the requirements on Yukon Beta 2, which will walk a long
way to RTM. However, I've really been a pleasure to light you on this topic:
As Brian and Andrew have pointed out, there is no specific hardware
requirements for Yukon, not only Yukon Beta 1 but Beta 2, even Yukon
RTM version or later.
The more important thing is if Yukon is deployed correctly on your machine
and it is integrated closely with Whidbey, which will provided powerful
support for Yukon on its developer tools. So I think what you should care
more is on the software environment on your machine, as making Yukon
work fine is prior to everyting.
Here I introduce some resources for your reference, hoping they will lead
you inside into Yukon:
