Dear Deepangi,
Are you planning to analyze or to perform the simulations on that
computer? Such simulations cannot be performed on a single processor
machine (check the NAMD tutorial to see how long does it take to perform
fairly short and highly optimized molecular dynamics simulations of a
small protein). If you plant to analyze the outcome of the simulations, be
sure to get as much memory as possible, as much disk space as possible,
and the best graphic card available that works with VMD in Linux.
