If it intensive calculations, I would say more memory. If you are frequently
opening and saving/closing workbooks, maybe a faster HDD. Invariably the
best thing you could do is to optimise the formulae. Take a look at

Hello there,

Just wondering what hardware is more important for excel to run faster ?
should I put the money on a faster CPU or just get more RAM for my PC, or
even a faster harddrive ? I need to handle loads of reports everyday and a
lot of matchings (vlookups) / large scale formattings - no extreme
calculations or chartings needed.

my current pc is a crappy pentium 4, 1.xx GHz with 1GB ram as I know.

Many thanks in advance.
