file IO uses the disc much more than the processor (close to 0 processor usage), so there is ur answer.
in excel, the processor only comes in during calculations.

Ikr, this is the first time I heard cpu affect excel. sweat.gif Well there do have company who is still using excel file to have their data stored and accessed. Even oil and gas company is using it. One of the reason they choose to do this is because it is cheaper compared to business solution like CMS. Most complete CMS in the market cost quite some money, which they find it not necessary. Even some of MIMOS data is using excel to do it, including semantic web data. My friend intern at there, his first job is to do data cleaning, damn sad sweat.gif

Of course they did it in a good way, with normalization and splitting of data into different file and not dumping everything in one file doh.gif

Disk speed and amount of RAM affect it. The slower your HDD, the slower you load in your data, so you see a hang or lag when you open the file. RAM also affect, when your data is so big, you just got 4gb of ram, there is not enough ram to keep hold of your data, so you will face the same things again. So next time check first before assuming the thing like extreme cpu is needed. smile.gif

That's the point. What you intend to do with extreme processor. A normal 4720HQ will do the job just fine. You quite of contradict yourself. Everything want to get the best, but why not GPU ? haha

Seems fine to me if you doing basic stuff (Surfing web, watching movies and light gaming.)

EDIT : My only concern is how did you get it at such a low price. hmm.gif , being a HP and i5
