It helps to have a faster CPU, and, especially, more RAM for large models. Analytica 32-bit will benefit from up to 3 GB RAM if you have it, and Analytica 64-bit will benefit from all additional RAM. It is also handy to have a large screen, or even multiple screens, when working with a large model. With working with very large models in Analytica 64-bit, performance can be improved by configuring Windows to maintain its Virtual Memory page file on a Solid State Drive.
