I'm using P4 2.8Ghz 512MB with Win2K Pro. I notice that whenever I'm running my excel formula, the CPU usage will raise up to 100% and the memory usage is about 38MB. Does this mean my CPU isn't that fast to process? I should have a greater processor? <br />
<br />
Why does CPU usage 100% but memory usage is lower? Is this normal?

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
