[gmx-users] Preformance on AMD X2!

[Mikko Hellgren]

Hi, 
I am going to bye a new computer and I would like to run some MD 
simulations on it. The budget is quite tight so I wonder if there is 
any kind of advice to what machine I should bye. I did not find any 
benchmarks test on the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ that I thought would be 
a good choice for me. Any comment or experience of this or should I 
consider Intel/Xeon/Opeteron instead. But take the tight budget in 
consideration when you ansewer to this.....

Many thanks for any comments
