Hi Peter
Your posting is a few weeks old, but I could see no replies yet, so I'll try :-) We have single-CPU Dell machines (3 GHz, 2GB RAM), but I suppose you just buy CPU, disk and memory according to your needs (and money :-) You don't write anything about OS, but according to your "ps" line, I assume it is Linux. We use Nvidia Quadro FX3000 graphics, which I can recommend. It is really fast (compared to our old SGIs), and the setup is straightforward. Just download the driver from nvidia.com, run the installer, and add a few things in the XF86Config file (see Nvidia readme file). We have successfully tested the driver (including stereo support) with Pymol on the following OSes: RH 9.0 Fedora Core 1 Enterprise WS 3 Windows XP I have no experience with O, but Pymol, VMD and Accelrys insightII graphics works fine i stereo. We use glasses from http://www.edimensional.com/, which are about $100 for emitter and glasses, and $50 for extra glasses w/o emitter. There is also a "breakout" box for use with cheaper graphics cards, but if you use the FX3000 (or any other Quadro card), you just throw away the breakout box and connect the emitter directly to the VESA stereo connector on the graphics card. We also have a 3D projection system with two projectors and polarization filters. The Quadro cards are dual head, and the Nvidia driver is capable of sending the L/R stereo images to different displays (requires additional setup in XF86Config, again - see the readme file). So no problems here either. (I haven't been able to make this work under Windows yet :-) Cheers, Esben > -----Original Message----- > From: pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of > Peter Haebel > Sent: 27. april 2004 10:00 > To: war...@delanoscientific.com; al...@xray.bmc.uu.se > Cc: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net; o-i...@o-info.imsb.au.dk > Subject: [PyMOL] Updated OpenGL Hardware Recommendations > > > Dear all, > > we just considering to purchase new linux pcs and i would be > very interested > in the latest hardware recommendations? > > we are planning to use these machines for stereo > visualization with pymol and > O. > > cheers, > > > peter > > > ps. has the pymol Xig Summit2.2 problem been resolved? > -- > ___________________________________________ > > Dr. Peter Haebel > > Philipps-Universität Marburg > Institut für Pharmazeutische Chemie > Marbacher Weg 6 > D-35032 Marburg > > phone: +49-6421-28-25072 > fax: +49-6421-28-28994 > > email: peter.hae...@staff.uni-marburg.de > http://www.agklebe.de > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g > Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market... > Oracle 10g. > Take an Oracle 10g class now, and we'll give you the exam > FREE. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id149&alloc_id66&op=ick > _______________________________________________ > PyMOL-users mailing list > PyMOL-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/p> ymol-users >
