Questions about alt+tab during game?

My question is regarding Alt+tab or pressing the windows start menu key during game (HON) play.

My work computer is E8400 OC'd@3.6 Ghz with 2GB ram (win7 ultimate ed.) using onboard graphic.

Alt+TAB/start menu key== lag, frustratingly slow speed to go to my desktop, takes about a good 20-30 secs to jump into deskptop screen. (very bad to check email during game at work


My home computer is AMD 940 @ 3.0 with 4GB ram (win7 ultimate ed.) using onboard graphic

Alt+tab/start menu key = instant desktop , pops right into game without a lag, i can do this all day long without even a slow down. The results are the same with my older processor (FX62 @2.8GHZ)


Can someone explain why its so different?, My work computer is clocked way higher than home computer and has a better ram and motherboard.

Is this caused by the 2GB ram vs 4GB? no other programs run in the background by the way.

I need to fix this, so that i need to pretend i am working, i can change screen fast.
thx
