Dear all,

Having read the FAQ regarding hardware I have a few ideas but would greatly appreciate any input from the community or developers.

Would anyone like to suggest the best configuration of hardware for running phenix.refine? I mainly operate in OSX but have no issue with switching operating system if I can get a faster setup.  My current thoughts are either something running a 4GHz Quad core i7 or an alternative would be a 3.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 (iMac v Mac Pro) or equivalent Linux builds.

I know that the i7 is reasonably fast as I have this setup in a different machine and phenix.refine runs reasonably quickly but as ever I would like it to be faster. Budget is not unlimited by any means but I would be interested in learning what an optimal setup might look like.

Many thanks,

Colin
