Excel 2007

Using RTD on 1600 symbols is fine?

I attended a seminar for hedge fund users of Excel last night at Microsofts Manhattan space in midtown

I asked a developer if there was any improvement in the CPU usage with 2007 v 2003. 2003 absolutely crushes your CPU in my experience

He confirmed that 2007 takes advantage of the dual processor whereas 2003 did not but he sounded negative as to any real speed improvement. Are you seeing differently?

I use 2000 equity symbols with 5 columns of live data and I have a P4 dual processor 3.2 and 4 GB RAM. Thanks for any response

Hi Diamond G',

I noticed improvement from 03 to 07 but i am not sure if it is a subjective or objective observation...

DDE will use much more of your CPU than RTD... that is why we switched last year... that is more of an improvement than 03 to 07 we think...

I only pull in 3 fields on 1600 stocks... but we do a lot of VB Calculations in Excel's backend software module section...

Change, Volume, Last Price... etc...
