Hi All this is my first post on the forum. I have got two computers that I use regularly and a simple excel based algorithm that I routinely run.
The computer which is of inferior specification is vastly outperforming the superior of the two PCs.
I was wondering if anyone has any idea what could cause this.
PC1 achieved 5k iterations in a given amount of time,
PC2 achieved 2k iterations in the same amount of time.
PC1
PC2:
Any ideas why this might be or even where the bottle neck might exist in my so called better PC would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Alan
