Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi Windows Users:
 
I am at my wits end, and amthisclose to getting a MAC. I am using version 5.5.1 on a Pentium 4 with 2GB of RAM. I am basically having 2 main problems:
 
1.       I cannot use any of the VSTi plugins that use the UVI engine, so Plugsound Pro, Ethnos and  MachFive do not work. Something about too many outputs. I was able to get them to work by using EnergyXT, but that is buggy.
 
2.       The second issue is that the program seems to be buggy in general. I can’t remember it ever being this buggy. I have every update for Windows XP Media Edition 2002, yet once I get halfway into a song, and completing it, it crashes.
 
Can you let me know a little about your system, and how you are running Logic? I have the money for the MAC, but I’m trying to save from going that route. Eventually I will, but right now is not a good time, financially. Any suggestions would be helpful!
 
Thanks
