Re: [PyMOL] 60-mer virus capsid (need computing power!)

[Tsjerk W. <ts...@gm...>]

Hi Shane,

I've been playing with a virus 60mer on an intel core i7 workstation with
6Gb memory with good response. Just make sure you use the latest incentive
or open source version and have a good graphics card.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Hi,

Does anyone use pymol for very large structures, such as a full virus
60-mer capsid? If so, what processing power, memory, graphics card, etc. do
you need to render these large files and manipulate them without any
slowing? PyMol takes about 1 minute to think after trying to spin one of
these full capsids, and that is on a dual-core 8gb ram laptop.

Is a 12-core mac like this overkill?

Has anyone built other machines to do this sort of work?

Appreciate your input,
