Hi,

I have a general question regarding the memory use of VMD here.
In windows, is VMD capable of using the virtual memory or is it capable of
storing large data file temporarily in harddisk? I am using VMD for the
visualization of large configurations (200000 atoms in each frame, usually
more than 500 frames in total) and I just have 4GB RAM on my desktop, so it
would be a bad news for me if VMD can't use virtual memory.

Thanks,

Shuai
