What is your graphics card?
Do you have the CUDA cores enabled, or OpenCL? I think the blur functions are GPU accelerated. If so, hardware encoding over software encoding should be a minimum of 10x as fast.

If it is a primarily CUDA process, it is using the GPU’s, not the CPU’s, so a single CPU wouldn’t be a problem.
You are probably OK on RAM. You can look at the database on ppbm5.com to compare your same CPU performance against machines with different amounts of RAM, disk drives, etc. If you have enough slots, I added 24GB (3x8GB chips) recently for $180.
Is your card enabled for Mercury Hardware Acceleration? (CUDA cores.) If you had to do the hack, it needs to be done again when you upgraded to CS6.

And … video card, CUDA cores enabled?
That will speed up many functions by a factor of 10.
How much RAM? 4 GB is not enough. How much is available to Premier?
Run great on two computers for me, including a $350 i3 laptop with an integrated graphics adapter and 8 GB of RAM.

If you open Media Encoder, you navigate to a directory and pick up any Sequence from a Premiere Pro project file.
Set it up for Export in the Queue. You can set up multiple file sizes/resolutions/names for different targets, then start the Queue.
Try that and see if it works?
Good luck!

Something sounds screwed up. You should be able to playback with few problems.
My desktop machine has an i7 920 processor with 27 GB of RAM, a really low end GT 430 graphics card (upgrade on the way),, and slow hard drives (fast 2TB for RAID on teh way.)
That thing plays perfectly.
I can even edit and play back with very few problems on my i3 laptop with only 8 GB of RAM and a single 500 GB hard drive.
You can turn on an icon that will show Green-Yellow-Red if you are dropping frames. You roll over it and it will show exactly how many frames are dropped.
Everything should play perfectly if you render the work area and then play.
Can you post specs? Computer, video (Canon 5DII, etc.) You are running teh 64 bit version of Premiere with adequate RAM?
You definitely need more than 4GB of RAM though.

You should be able to do a “hack” to turn on the CUDA cores in the GT card.
This is primarily aimed at PC’s, but it might help:

Here are a couple of videos on 3 Way Color Corrector in CS6:

The first one is pretty thourough.

It sounds like you will be able to color correct/grade in Premiere for basic needs.
I think you mentioned using Warp Stabilizer earlier in AE? If you are upgrading to CS6, Premiere Pro now has Warp Stabilizier & somewhat easier color correction.
Might be easiest on this round to just stay in PP, rather than going to AE or Speedgrade. CS6 is a great package!
Good luck.

I exported an OMF from Premiere with 6 audio clips in it. I then imported it into Audition as a test with no problems.
I exported it as “Separate Audio”. It opened with 12 channels, linked in stereo, in a “Multi Channel” Audition project.
Do you have the audio clips selected on the Timeline? Then Export->OMF. Sequence 1 is the default. Opened the Sequence in Audition. Had to point to the first media file, it found them and imported them.
This may be totally off track, but: If you downloaded the trial software and then bought the full version, there are a couple of extra downloads that aren’t installed with the trial.
Good luck!
