Hi,
We are planning to buy a machine to be used for AMBER
on Linux (molecular dynamics calculations, free energy
perturbation studies etc.). What do the hardware
experts recomment within a budget of 2000-3000.-. We
are very impressed by machines that use the Opteron
64-bit processor. However, we don't want something
that requires a lot of tweaking. Are these new 64-bit
processors really necessary, or is a regular fast
32-bit processor just as useful, especially for
somebody who does not want to spend too much time to
get things working.
The workstation we are planning to build has following
configuration:
Motherboard: 110759 - MSI K8T Master2-FAR K8T800 GB-
LAN/USB/SAT
1st Processor : 120803 - AMD Opteron 242 1.6GHz 1MB
64/32 Bit
2nd Processor: 122803 - AMD Opteron 242 1.6GHz 1MB
64/32 Bit
Memory: 140802-2 DDR (333) 2700 REG ECC - 2 GB (2 pcs
1GB)
Any comments on this configuration would be very much
appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sachin Patil
