I used SDR Console at first but
now I find SDRUno is more stable on my old I5, 8GB, 2.4GHz.
laptop. My pc is under powered for SDRC running the RSPdx even
though cpu usage is lower it would often crash or lock-up often
requiring a complete reboot to recover then it would run for a
while and randomly lock-up, especially listening to FM broadcast
or if some change were made to a menu item - gain, etc. I would
prefer to use SDRC but I need to upgrade my computer at some
point before I can.

Dale, I'm not sure I agree with your opening line. The latest SDR
Console 3.0.20 test kit (along with 3.0.19 previously for that
matter) runs without crashing or lockups on my "old" 2013 HP
Pavilion g6. This PC cannot be upgraded to Win10 so it's running
8.1. It is an 1.5GHz AMD A6-3420M with Radeon HD graphics and 8Gig
memory. Along with SDR Console, I'm generally running VSPE, a VAC,
CSVUserlistBrowser and Audacity at the same time.
Not trying to start an argument, but you may have an opportunity to
resolve your crashes and lock-ups before the expense of upgrading.
