Luca, I've been using a eMac with similar specs to the MacMini and it works fine. The only major change I see between the G5 in my lab and the eMac at home is the surface calculations and ray tracing. For what you want, my guess is it will be fine. Dan -- Dr. Daniel Moriarty Siena College Chemi

Luca, We bought a Mini here in the office to use as an inexpensive, secure, stable, & hassle-free CVS server. I hadn't tried running PyMOL on it until today... In a very small set of tests with surfaces, a $600 1.42 Ghz G4 Mini (ATI) has about 25% of the OpenGL performace and 60% of the ray-trac

Dear Luca, I own a current G4 iBook, and the Mac mini is in principle an iBook in cubuoid form (but without display and keyboard). I don't know how demanding your pymol sessions are, but I'm quite happy with the MacPyMOL version on my iBook, which seems to be subjectively a little bit faster

Hi, I can run pymol smoothly on my celeron-m 1.3ghz laptop with intel i855gmch embedded graphics chip. This has no dedicated memory and uses a portion of the 512MB system ram for graphics processing. The specs say that mac mini's come standard with ati r9200 with 32mb *dedicated* ram for graphics
