Dear CCLers,

Recent discussions on the list "seem" to assess that the PPro 256kb
should be the best buy, in terms of performance/costs ratio.

Anyhow, the PCs are not simply made by the CPU. We know that another
bottleneck can be the HD. A PCI bus should be more or less comparable
to a FAST SCSI 2. Better performances can be obtained on going to
Ultra Wide etc. SCSI stuff. Anyhow, prices increase.

What the experience here ? 

Are those (more) expensive last generation SCSI pieces really needed ?

Any comments appreciated

Best regards,

Luigi

Hello everybody,

I have just compiled the RasMol package on my PC under linux. It sent no
error messages, but when I want to start it, it says:

RasMol Molecular Renderer
Roger Sayle, August 1995
Version 2.6
[8bit version]

No suitable display detected!
RasMol>

I have the Xfree86 3.3.1 server for X11, and it works fine(except rasmol).
Please help me, I need RasMol!

Bye,
