Hi, 
the last version (5.0, I believe) of hyperchem (hypercub Inc.) works
with win NT 4.0. You can perform molecular dynamics with the amber
forcefield.

I think you can not compare the speed of the pc and unix world even with
a very very very .... powerfull PC. We did it and we change for a
silicon graphics station.
