XL: Excel Does Not Run on Multiple Processors (265361)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Excel 2003
- Microsoft Excel 2002
- Microsoft Excel 2000
- Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q265361 SUMMARY Microsoft Excel is not designed to be a
multiprocessor-aware program; it runs on only one processor. Although Excel
uses multiple threads when performing a background query, it is not
multiprocessor-aware. An operating system may run on multiple processors and
may allow you to assign specific programs to run on specific processors, but an
application program cannot run on more than one processor unless it is
multiprocessor-aware.
