CPU under utilized

Excel only uses upto 50% of CPU's capacity. Want it to use nearly 100% and
speed up results. Vista, Excel 2007, Dell XPS M1530 Duo processor.
Multithreading is set to use all processors. Suggestions?

Re: CPU under utilized

I don't believe this will happen as current Office products are 32-bit,
single-threaded code. You could ask in an Office newsgroup but I don't
think you'll get any different answer there.
