I have a friend that has a Dell desktop Dimension 8400 with a Pentium 4. It has 3.80GHz with 1.00GB of RAM.
He has a problem with trying to process large Excel spreadsheets that apparently contain arrays. It is taking up to 5 -7 minutes to work through his calculations in the spreadsheets. He asked me if he should buy a new more powerful desktop or laptop.
I suggested he look into upgrading his current desktop first before buying a new one. Does anyone have an insight as to whether or not upgrading his Dell 8400 would solve his problem. If so what would he upgrade on his current desktop.
Thanks for any help.
