I use it daily, but in this case i will crash gloriously. You could try Ultraedit, that handles large files realy well.

If you're not bound to windows you could try it on a Linux shell, see:

Try this linux command:

for page in *.html; do sed -i "" "s/WORD TO REPLACE/WORD TO REPLACE WITH/g" page; done

Why don't you move the site to a CMS and then it is a breeze to do this using plugins & modules.
