Hardware for optimum Excel performance
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.
