Default Calculating Cells Taking Forever

Folks,

I have developed a spreadsheet that is very formula intensive that takes
forever (~ an hour) to calculate.

Not being a techy at all, would you suggest more RAM or a faster processor
to speed up the cell calculations?

Thanks,

Jason

Before making any hardware changes I suggest you check this out.

Charles Williams has some great info on his site dealing with speeding up
calculations.
