[gmx-users] VMD problem?

[Peter C. Lai]

Depending on the # of atoms, 6000 frames may exceed the amount of ram a 32bit
application can address (4GB). If you're having problems with the 64bit 
version, you should probably ask the vmd-l list.

The only workaround other than that is trjconv -skip and make a trajectory 
file that skips frames and will load under 4GB of ram.
