<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Lou,<br>
<br>
I used to run eQuest on a laptop that had an i5 processor (2.4Ghz) with 8 GB RAM. It simulated slower, but ran fine. In the past I’ve come across modeling irregularities that have prevented the model from simulating. Typically this is called out my the program
and you get an error message / “simulation terminated” but sometimes the model will just crash.<br>
<br>
Is your model crashing / force quitting out of eQuest, or something else? Could you screenshot the error message?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are trying to determine what the minimum system requirements to run eQUEST are, is this something you could help us answer?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We tried running eQUEST on 3 different computers with at least 8GB RAM and all the system resources are being taken up while a running a model. Is this normal?<o:p></o:p></p>
