E6700 and multi-tasking

I have an E6700 cpu with a Bad Axe 2 mobo. It is overclocked to 3.2. This set up seems to have a hard time multi-tasking (e.g., printing pictues while surfing the net)- particularly compared to my other computer, which has an Intel D875PBZ mobo with an Intel P4 3.2 with Hyperthreading. Shouldn't the E6700 handle multi-tasking easier?

It's not just the CPU - what type of RAM do you have, and how much? Also, other background processes could be slowing things down.

I have 2 GB of Crucial RAM - DDR2 PC2-6400, which is twice the RAM of the other computer. The software is the same on both, so background processes should be the same.
