fastest hardware for excel
Most important for Excel performance:
- A recent version. Apart from a few VBA problems, newer versions are faster - A fast processor. I have not been able to see any improvements with faster video cards etc - Enough memory. Certainly for "housekeeping" activities, like keeping Undo-lists, Excel benefits from lots of memory. If it starts swapping memory to disk, performance may drop by a factor of 10 or so. In general: a very good site about Excel performance is http://www.decisionmodels.com -- Kind Regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "N Lennox" wrote in message ...

To the best of my knowledge, you would need a version of Excel that is
written for a 64 bit processor to get any gain there. As to dual/multiple processors, only if it is competing against other processes - excel itself doesn't take advantage of multiple processors. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "N Lennox" wrote in message ...
