Computer Runs Excel Slowly

Forum CPU & Components : Other Components Computer Runs Excel Slowly

I have some large excel files with 65,000 rows that are 100MB and have many equations. It took my old computer over a minute to open and save the spreadsheet. I got a new Gateway DX4831-01E (6GB memory, Intel i3-530 processor) but it still takes about 15 seconds to open the spreadsheet in excel 2003.

But my new computer has a 60 day trial version of excel 2007. I opened the same spreadsheet in excel 2007 and it opens in 2 seconds. Is excel 2007 much faster in opening and saving files?

I also noticed that excel 2003 asks if I want to update links but I do not think there any any links to another spreadsheet although I may have had links at one time. When I open it in excel 2007 it does not ask if I want to update links which I think is correct.

Is there a way to easily check if there are any links in my spreadsheet?

Excel 2007 has support for much bigger spreadsheets than 2003, and yes, it is more efficient at handling them.
