Laments of a power computer

At my day job I recently received a brand new quad core computer, 3 Gig of RAM, 2 160 GB HD's in a SATA raid, etc, etc, ad nauseum. Sounds great, right? Well, among the new programs I got was Office 2007.

Appearantly processor #2 doesn't like it when I move graphs around or try to edit them. I've never had this problem even with my home computer which is just a lowly dual core. Maybe my video card is better. It can handle WoW like a champ. I'd hate to think a PCI-e video card in my work computer is being outclassed by a TV tuner card in my home computer.
