Logos 5 keeps crashing do I need more ram / processor

I downloaded Logos 5 Minimal Crossover just before the holiday so I have only had a few chances to test drive it. Each time Logos has crashed, even with the newest update it is still crashing (I am only running it like I did with Logos 4). My question is whether my MacBook specs are the reason for the crashes. My Specs 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, 4gb memory, and I am currently running OSX Mountain Lion. These are not the recommended specs but they are above the minimum requirements. Thanks for the help

I don't know too much about Mac stuff, but I don't think the issue is your computer specs.

Please enable logging by carefully following all the instructions in the link below:
http://wiki.logos.com/Diagnostic_Logging (This includes instructions for both PC's and Mac's - make sure you follow the correct instructions)

Then start Logos and let it crash again. Then before starting Logos again post all the log and txt files here for review.

Here are the Wiki instructions for how to upload logs.

Welcome [:D]

The MacBook specs are not the cause for crashes; would like to look at Logos diagnostic log files. Wiki has => http://wiki.logos.com/Diagnostic_Logging#Logos_5_for_OS_X

Logos 5 is a 32 bit application so 4 GB is adequate; amount of RAM needed depends on number of applications open at the same time.

Logos 5 is a resource intensive application, which benefits from fast processor, graphics, and quick storage along with adequate memory; Solid State Disk (SSD) is noticeably faster than hard disk.

Curious about MacBook hard disk speed ? Apple default speed is 5400 RPM, which has longer battery life for many applications, but is noticeably sluggish in Logos 4 and Logos 5.

Note: helping a friend with Logos 5 Silver upgrade on a MacBook Pro with 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, and 7200 RPM disk drive; pondering SSD upgrade for MacBook Pro. Thankful for I Fix It web site that has Mac hard drive replacement guides => http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac Noticed upgrading MacBook Core 2 Duo hard drive is easy => http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Hard+Drive+Replacement/514/1

Keep Smiling [:)]

Thanks for the responses. I am going to setup the diagnostic logging tonight.
