pretty frugal when it comes to computer requirements. I once
ran 3.63 on a 486 Pentium at 650 MHz, 756 KB ram and a 9GB HD.
It was slow, 8 to 15 minutes, but if the input was right it
would crunch through. It ran all the graphics without problems
either. There is an input problem with your model not a memory
one. New computers should run through a good sized model in
less than a minute for the BDL and the simulation and more
likely in less than 20 seconds. <br>

<pre wrap="">You should have plenty of capacity on the PC you described. I would check your model - are you sure you have floor multipliers on?
As an aside - I just did a quick run of a 100x100 floor plate with 50 storeys - and it ran fine - straight out of the wizard - even with the floor multipliers on. I have a laptop - intel i5 processor with 6GB ram, but I think it would have run on a slower computer too.
Check your other settings.

Dear lists,
This is Rajesh, I am using equest from 6mnths. I need know system requirement, for equest when have to model high rise building. Actually, when I model fifty storey building, & run the BDL, atlast it comes out to insufficient memory, & it gives errors. I use floor multiplier to reduce load on PC. My PC configuration is intel dual core processor, with 4 GB RAM. If I have to upgrade my pc, then what would be its configuration. If I have to buy a server, then is it possible that equest will run on it. If I have to model a 100 storey building, kindly give solution. I would greatful for the solution.
Thanks & Regards.
