Sanjeev,
  I loaded this structure with no problems on a Sun workstation here
at my desk. VMD used around 56MB of memory when the structure was loaded,
so I'm not sure why you had problems. I downloaded that pdb file to my
local machine and gunzipped it first however, how did you try to load it
into VMD?
