5 meg? Hardly.
Your machine's tolerance is going to determine whether or not Excel buckles to a large extent. Other than that, check out these specs:

All depends on what makes up the 5MB. Take a look at the following snippet from the following url:-
80MB sounds like a very large amount of formulae, but actually it represents somewhere between 40 thousand and 2 million formulae, which is a maximum of about 12% of a single worksheet. As an extreme case I created a test workbook with only 40000 formulae whose filesize is just over 3MB, but which exceeds the 80MB formula limit when saved and reopened. The workbook contains 200 worksheets, each containing 200 formulae, and the formulae link each sheet to every other sheet.
Charles has an excellent site to teach you all you could ever want to know about Excel's memory limits.
The amount of RAM you have will make a difference, but only up as far as Excel's internal memory limits go. Enough is as good as a feast in this case.
