I'm not aware the graphics card plays ANY roels for Premiere. Much more important for some 'effects' work. i know certain features of Aftre Effects uses the GPU but to my knowlegde, Premiere doesn't at all - up to v2 that is

You are using an external drive. This might be the bottleneck. Is it USB?
Good spot Bert. Almost certainly the issue I reckon. Ever picked up one of those covers disk and tried playing thos background animations forom the CD/DVD rom drive? Play rubbuish don't they - just like described.

Edit on an internal drive and see if the issue goes away to prove this point.
