I don\'t seem to make much progress on my model so is it worth changing it?

Version 6.4.5 was brought out in haste for people desperate for a version that would utilise their graphic card for CUDA processing of models. It has lots of problems.
The latest version recommended for cpdn only, which seems to apply to you, is 6.2.19

Could you please provide more information re: don\'t seem to make much progress, as your model seems to be running OK.

PS
You don\'t have much memory. Increasing this to 2 gigs would be a good investment.
(ALL programs will run faster, and there\'ll be less swapping of data back and forth between memory and the hard disk.)
