Hi,

I have a HP Mini 311c with Openuse 11.3, Xfce 4.6.2 and Windows XP
SP3, that have
Nvidia ION LE + Atom N270 (1.6GHz) + 2Go DDR3 Ram. *

The battery stand for aroung 4h-5h.

I have Nvidia driver 256.35

Here is what I have when launch vmd:
Info) Multithreading available, 2 CPUs detected.
Info) Free system memory: 1545MB (88%)
Info) Detected 1 available CUDA accelerator:
Info) [0] ION LE 2 SM_1.1 @ 1.10 GHz, 253MB RAM, KTO, ZCP
Info) Creating CUDA device pool and initializing hardware...
Warning) Detected X11 'Composite' extension: if incorrect display occurs
Warning) try disabling this optional X server feature.
Info) OpenGL renderer: ION LE/PCI/SSE2
Info) Features: STENCIL MSAA(4) MDE CVA MTX NPOT PP PS GLSL(OVF)
Info) Full GLSL rendering mode is available.
Info) Textures: 2-D (8192x8192), 3-D (2048x2048x2048), Multitexture (4)

On Linux, when I open the Fab structure 1AY1 of an antibody that have
: 3282 atoms and 423 residus, with cache mode on, I got :
6 fps with VDW in normal mode and 12.5 fps in GLSL mode
4.8 fps with surf in normal mode and 24 fps in GLSL mode

If you need more informations, I can do some more testing,
Regards,
