Desktop Computer Packages

Which computer would you recommend with the Pro tools LE and the Mbox 2 Pro?

I bought the Mbox 2 Pro about 6 months ago and it came with the bundle package. I got The Protools LE software and a bunch of plugins. I installed in my Dell laptop with Windows XP. And it simply wasn't working. So then I set it all up on my Desktop computer which is also equipped with Windows XP. This worked for a little while. But now, every time I try to record, it tells me to reduce or increase the buffer size or something. Apparently it has something to do with the CPU usage. So. Basically, I just want to record. Either fix the problem on one of my current computers, or look into buying one with more compatibility. I would rather have a PC, but I am willing to explore both options. If you know how to correct any of this mess, help me out!

1. First, Try changing the buffer settings on your desktop machine- go to setup/playback engine.. and increase the hardware buffer size, this might help get you rolling. When installing Pro Tools, it's important to check that you hardware, OS and Pro Tools version are all compatible, see the link below, and select you version of pro tools, and look for OS information.
