Hi Jakreda,

With that computer you'll be well set to be doing basically everything you need for crystallography. CCP4, as well as all other programs you'll use, will run beautifully on that system. I'm currently using a MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz, core 2 duo) as my main working machine for crystallography, and even though it is a couple of years old there is basically nothing it still working fine with all software. So a new iMac will work just fine.

Cheers,
Ronnie Berntsson

Dear Sir,

I am a new postgraduate from University of Bristol and am doing a project about protein crystallography. I have a question about minimum requirement
for Mac OSX

I have ordered new Mac desktop, iMac, for doing light job at my home.
I found that a 21.5 inch iMac, Core 2 Duo 3.33 GHz and shared ATI 4670
graphic card with 256 MB is in my budget. I am curious whether this model of
iMac is suitable for CCP4. Please give me advise about it.

Thanks & Best regards,
Jakrada
