Which gaussian version is suitable for old system

moiumuio

I am going to install gaussian on new system in my lab, however, it's an old system with dual cpu of 2450v2 and it's very slow. So I have a question that does G16 A03 version require much more computational effort than g09 E01 or just a little?Thanks in advance

G16, and state that you used g09defaults keyword in tasks.

thank you for your answer

Thank you for your answer prof.. Further question, when I use g09defaults keyword in g16, should I mention that I use g16 or g09.

The default setting of G16 is more expensive than G09, mostly because by default the former uses int=ultrafine while the latter uses int=fine. If you add int=fine or g09defaults keyword in G16, the computational cost will be basically the same.
