For looking at large regions of a map, I've found it easier (less computationally demanding) to calculate map over the region of interest and use a graphics program that doesn't do symmetry expansion.

Hi all

So I'm running into a case where I need to see maps for large radii (in excess 
of 120A) and I'm thinking I need to move to bigger hardware than this laptop. 
Essentially, I'm getting errors in malloc

coot-real(85522,0xa062e1a8) malloc: *** mach_vm_map(size=1140850688) failed 
(error code=3)
*** error: can't allocate region

or directory

What should I look for in a higher end machine? More system memory? Video 
memory? All of the above?

Thanks
