So like many of the group's contributors I enjoy home recording onto a
mac with DP. I use an Echo sound card, lots of midi etc. One question
continues to arise, especially since (not infrequently) DP will quit
with an error of type 2 or 3, that question is: why?

This is a software problem. Not having enough RAM (unless it's very
shy) makes things work irregularly, but not just crash. You're likely
to have some incompatible things installed (and running) or there may
be a real OS bug that shows up with your particular combination of
drivers and programs.

Some have told me that it because I am using the same computer to go
online (G4 'AGP graphics), others have told me that it is because my
sound card is ASIO and they are sketchy with my set up.

It could be either of those. One of the reasons why conventional
wisdom is to keep your music/audio computer away from the Internet is
that when you're on line, it's so easy (even sometimes without your
knowledge or consent) to install something that you don't think will
affect your other programs, but it does. Since a lot of sites
require certain audio and video capabilities to even see a web page,
unless you're very disciplined and "just say no" to those sites,
you're going to get some stuff on your computer eventually that will
conflict with or change something in your audio setup, and that sort
of thing is just the perfect setup for the kind of crashes you're
getting.

Computers are cheap these days. Get another one to go on line, and if
you need to download a new driver or a new audio program, do it with
that computer and then move it over to your audio computer on a CD or
through a network.
