Hi,
I have a problem when trying to ray 750,750 a quite large ribosome file
with maximum quality. Size of the relevant PyMOL v1.1 file is 100 MB (or
31 MB after reducing objects I do not need for the figure production).
PyMOL simply crashes under Windows Vista Home Premium as well as under
Ubuntu Linux v8.04 LTS without error report. My dual OS system is a
Samsung Aura Seven Notebook (Core2Duo @2.4 GHz each, 3 GB of RAM, NVIDIA
GeForce 9200M GS graphics board with 256 MB of RAM, 12" TFT @1280x800
resolution settings). I first thought the RAM under Vista is still
insufficient (Vista alone takes 900 MB of the 3 GB of memory) but then
I realized that this crash occurs as well under Linux. However, since
both OS are 32 bit and therefore to my (limited) knowledge cannot handle
more than 2 GB in a single task, RAM limitation might still be an issue
to think about, right?
I have experienced (and occasionally reported) this type of serious
crashes with PyMOL on a broad variety of machines over some years now -
usually occurring when trying to render final files - but, sadly, none
of these has ever been diagnosed and fixed properly. Maybe this time I
am lucky and someone knows what to do?
Best regards,
Michael.
