The Folding@Home guys have recently released an update to the GROMACS core which should vastly improve it's performance on the Mac:<br><br><table width="90%" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="#63635A" bgcolor="#E7E7E2" align="center"><tr><td style="font-size: 12px; font-style: italic;">Due to some hard work by Guha and Erik, the OSX Gromacs OSX core is now 2-3x faster on G3's and G4's and fixes the incompatibility problem for G5's. The result: screaming fast folding on the Mac. Let's hope that the word gets out and we can bring some more Mac donators to the "fold"!</td></tr></table><br><br>I don't have any Macs at the moment, but if you do (and you're interested in Folding@Home) this is definately good news.
