Dear ccp4 bb members, I need to buy a desktop workstation for the purpose of running crystallography related applications. I have short-listed HP's Z420 and Dell's T7600, I chose this because their configuration description looks impressive (8 cores, 16 threads, 3.6 GHz processor etc.). However, I have no practical idea about their performance.
Can anyone , who has experience with these workstations comment on performance ? And whether these workstations are optimal/suboptimal for the desired purpose ? what other options do I have apart from dell and hp ? Please suggest. *Is desktop iMac a good option for this purpose ?* many thanx in advance abhishek
