hello friends,
Based on the benchmarking of gromacs on various processors I am planning to buy a opteron 2xdual core system to perform MD simulation. I am giving the configuration below please give your comments on the operating system that is best suited. Whether to use Fedora core4 or Enterprise Linux.

CPU - 2 AMD Opteron model 285 Dual-Core 2.6Ghz x2

Memory - 4gb Memory DDR-400 ECC Registered (4x1024mb, 2 for each processor) x4

Nice, but you could get by with 2Gb unless you are running very large systems.

Hard Drive(s) - Seagate 300 Gb SATA (NCQ)

Video - XFX 7800GT 256mb Dual DVI

That video card is probably great for games, but it won't help Gromacs (yet), and it probably has a _very_ noisy fan. You might consider a slower card if you're going to have the machine in your room.


Cheers,

Erik
