Hi all,
I am doing a survey on computer usage in crystallography. The questionnaire
can be found on the following web page:

I don't care for the way several questions are posed. Examples:

I am sorry you are unhappy with the questions, David.

well I doubt you'll get much change out of $2000.

Hi,
If you build a system without stereo graphics, and use a standard monitor, I
agree. In-fact it can be done for for under ~$1000. However, stereo systems
are rather expensive (LCD stereo systems are VERY expensive).
I was just curious to see how popular stereo graphics is for
More likely the issue is that some of us do not find stereo to be
necessary of beneficial for crystallographic model building.
In which case, given the power of modern PCs and graphics cards, a basic
off-the-shelf PC costing $1000/£500 is completely adaquate for typical
structure solution and
Hi Paul,
I didn't intend to criticise the survey, I actually filled it out
immediately, and am interested in the outcome. Perhaps more so for the
issue of easing crystallographic software installation and updating than
the stereographics part.
Wrt stereographics; I bought three sets of
Hello,
Personally I don't really care if I have a stereo setup or not. I
have not really used stereo to build in probably 3-4 years. The
majority of the users of my facility on the other hand really want
stereo. Usually in the initial and final stages of building and
analysis. It
I agree with Kevin. We have stereo on about half of our workstations, and
no one has used them in about three years. We typically use O.
Also, we have three large servers which are relatively fast. So the main
purpose of a workstation is building, not computing here. That way you can
easily work
Hello All-
Regarding the expense of stereo graphics, I use a Nuvision 60GX-NSR
(non-stereo ready) driven by a GeForce FX5200 card to build in Xtalview
and have no complaints regarding the stereo performance. I believe the
Nuvision setup was around $600 USD and today the FX500 costs the
I've found that many of my undergraduates like the stereo capability, although
I personally rarely use it. So I guess it's worth the pain of getting the
stereo hardware to play nice with the OS and specialized applications. We put
the cheapest stereo-ready cards available at the time(Quadro
Hi,
I recently bought CRT monitors for the 3D workstations in our lab.
I bought the Viewsonic G225fB and I can really recommend them.
You find them here:

Me too.

I use coot quite a lot too.
In my case though, I don't have hardware rendering because I don't
