[Chimera-users] Chimera benchmarks in both OSX and WinXP on same hardware

[Jeff Speir]

Dear Chimera developers,

By request from my lab mates I've run Chimera's built-in benchmark  
routine under both OSX and Windows XP Pro SP2 for comparison.   
Attached is an MSWord document with the results.  Hope they are  
useful.  Of note, OSX falls behind in the ribbon graphics compared to  
WinXP, especially with large molecules.

The test was done on an Apple Mac Pro (hardware details in attached  
document) with Windows XP Pro installed via Boot Camp.  Both  
operating systems were fully updated with all available patches.   
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,

Jeff
