It doesn\'t give any credit and doesn\'t display any minor benchmarks. It has been running for quite a while. I don\'t know if there are any changes I should make as I am rather new to this. This is for a class and I would appreciate any answers I could get to help show my computer is doing the work.

The credits are given for trickles returned to the server.
The models trickle at the end of each model year, 4th December.
The credit program runs once a day, so it can be up to 24 hours before it shows up on your account.

The minimum recommended amount of memory is 512 Megabytes. Otherwise a lot of time will be spend by the program swapping data back and forth between ram and the hard disk.
The recommended minimum processor speed is 1.6GHz, otherwise the model will take far too long to run.
As your computer doesn\'t meet these two requirements, it\'s likely that your models will keep crashing, and become very \'sluggish\'. Increasing the memory will help, as will reading through the 4 README files here, especially the first 2. Making regular backups, as per one of the methods in the third will give you a better chance of completing them if you have repeated failures.
