I have Pio edge and have been using a computer with 128gb ram to make preflop trees. I decided that I would spring for a better machine with 512gb ram to get better accuracy on more realistic trees.
Every time I hear trees bigger than 128GB are needed I am getting suspicious. Usually it's caused by doing counterproductive things like adding bet sizes in postflop play (that has 0 influence on preflop ranges in all the cases I've seen) or otherwise causing the size of postflop trees to blow up.
I am not saying it's a bad idea to run bigger trees but it's good to remember that the goal should be to get good preflop ranges and for that postflop play needs to realistic but may be quite simplistic.

I was wondering what kind of an impact the CPU would have?
As long as they are modern Intel CPUs it's more or less proportional to number of physical cores multiplied by frequency they run on (not turbo one, the base one). There is slight performance penalty if you get really a lot of cores but Pio scales pretty well for realistic setups (last time I checked it was x15.2 for 16cores and x22.5 for 24 cores in comparison to 1 thread performance).

All the way to:
Twenty-Two-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2699A v4 2.40GHz 55MB Cache (145W)
Make sure to check if those are single or dualbox setups (dualbox setup has 2 CPUs so the number of cores doubles). Anyway, multiply number of cores by base frequency and the speed is more or less proportional to that number.
Make sure to shop around, there are many server providers and you may be able to find some good deals.

Is there anyway of copying a range from the browser in PIO?
You can copy it by right clicking on 13x13 area (you can choose if you want to copy a stategy, range at given point, EVs etc.). I am not sure if the tools you mentioned accept our format - I doubt it. We do accept their format though (so you can paste the range from there to our range selector and it will work).

Is there anyway of rounding these ranges in the preflop browser?
There is no way to round the strategies in the browser as of now unless you still have a whole tree so the solver can round them and calculate new EVs. You can also generate preflop charts (there is an option to round things there) if it's a preflop solution.
Make sure that:
-you are using 1.9.2 solver (it says at the bottom: connected to...)
-you are using the newest viewer, here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gesnfhgrbo...iewer.exe?dl=0 (download and substitute the file in your Pio folder).
This is a small bugfix from few days ago which shouldn't influence the exact thing you are mentioning but it's always best to have the newest version.

You can export / copy ranges that are in formats CREV or Flopzilla accept (as if you don't know lol) but I need to do that with these ranges instead of manually typing them into these external programs.
Tbh I don't know, last time I've heard Flopzilla was accepting 5 weights or something like that and then it was using quite a silly format as well. My advice is to nag the author of those tools to improve on the situation and/or use our range explorer (which to be fair is quite simplistic as of now).

Is there a solution if you are a PIO Pro user and only connecting to the preflop browser with already built preflop solutions?
I am not sure what you mean here, you can read already done preflop solution with the preflop-browser which is shipped with basic/pro version - yes. I probably misunderstood your question so feel free to elaborate.
