title: Minimum Hardware requirements for Android development
body: <p>Need information about minimum hardware requirement for better experience in developing Android application.  </p>
  
  <p>My current configuration is as follows. P4 3.0 GHz, 512 MB of ram.  </p>
  
  <p>Started with Hello Android development on my machine and experience was sluggish, was using Eclipse Helios for development. Emulator used to take lot of time to start. And running program too.<br>
  Do I need to upgrade my machine for the development purpose or is there anything else I am missing on my machine(like heavy processing by some other application I might have installed).  </p>
  
  <p>And If I do need to upgrade, do I need to upgrade my processor too(that counts to new machine actually, which I am not in favor of), or only upgrading RAM will suffice.  </p>
