Hi,

Is there any speed difference between 64 bit and 32 bit of Excel 2010?

Is 64bit faster?

Assuming my workbooks uses about 1G of ram (below but near 32bit limit), and there are few add-ins.


Thanks.

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.

We only have 1 or 2 add-ons and I talked to the developer and they said they support 64bit.

I just want to know if there's any improvements in speed.



Be careful with add-ins - you need to make sure that they will work with 64-bit Excel if that is what you install.
Microsoft recommended 32-bit Office on 64-bit Windows 7:

I have come across a few problems mentioned on this board that were caused by using Office 2010 64-bit.
Also have a look at Rory's post #11 at:

According to MS: "Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office are largely indistinguishable, except that 64-bit Office has a much higher memory capacity."

I doubt you would notice a performance benefit unless you started to approach the memory limits of 32bit Office.
