Post From: Technical question about limitations of replay backtest spreadsheet automation

Hi,

I am currently conducting multi-chart backtestingon a number of different automated trading formulas. Obviously as stated in the manual if a high resolution is required the replay test is conducted slowly.
So my question:
Is this limitation due to computer memory/processing power?
Or is it a limitation of how fast the software can conduct the calculations?

What I am getting at here, is if one were purchase a top end motherboard with the greatest amount of cpu cores, Maxed out the RAM slots, with an SSD, could that significantly improve the processing speed over a typical quad core 2 gig RAM, HD setup?
