1Using Visual Assist X with Visual Studio 2008 exposes a bug in the 64-bit versions of these operating systems. To work around the bug, make sure you have installed Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1.
Performance
Visual Assist X requires little more than a system fast enough for software development. Impact on the performance is negligible after a project is opened for the first time. (Extra parsing is done the first time each project is opened.)
