My workflow is noticeably slower home compared to the machine I use in work, and that's just a tiny corporate Dell. I'm thinking the processor.


Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT

must be a pretty BA dell corporate computer if it's much faster than that...

your processor is a little slow, and no reason to upgrade video card unless you play new games...9800 gt is a great card (I use one myself).

processor would be best bet...although that can also lead to upgrading the mobo if you go high end...which would mean upgrading the RAM

I doubt your slowness is hardware related.
