Hi,

I have several very large excel files (30MB+) which I need to update
and recalculate regularly. I currently do this on my 1.7GHz/256MB RAM/
20GB HD laptop. However, it takes a long time, and is susceptible to
crashing.

I want to buy a desktop machine specifically for optimised Excel
performance. What should I look out for - is RAM more important than
processing speed? I'd sooner not spend a huge amount of money.

A related question - I currently use Excel 2000. While I'm in the
process of upgrading, are later versions of Excel quicker?

Any suggestions most welcome.

Bertie.
