Hello,
This is my first posting to the group. I have a Bruker DRX 500 instrument,
currently with a SGI O2. It only has a 2 GB hard drive and the internal
clock is dead. We currently have to run XWINNMR on an external hard drive
since the IRIX operating software takes up 94% of the hard drive. We are
evaluating new SGI's and do not want the new one to become obsolete in the
near future, therefore we are looking at Octanes as well as O2's. Bruker's
company line is that they do not support Octanes. Does anyone know of a
reason why? I am assuming it has to do with the application software. I
know an Octane would be more than we need right now, but we want to make
sure we have computing power far into the future. We do not perform a lot
of 3-D processing at this time.
Any suggestions or comments would be helpful.
Thanks,
Andy
