Look at (and try!) the system in amber8/benchmarks/rt: this has 141,000
atoms. I have run at some point a system about twice as big as these....
The generaly problem with systems much bigger than this is that you can't
afford to do anything interesting with them, because they are too slow.
But Amber is supposed to work with systems of the size you describe.

Offhand, these don't really sound like errors related to the size of the
system. Of course, you should set ntpr=1 when beginning a new system, esp.
if it seems to be giving problems.
