If you want to lower your frustration level, you need a more powerful
computer, a faster hard drive, or a cleaner system. (Plus, laptops are
always a bit problematic because of custom device drivers, slower drives,
etc. -- I don't have the earlier message, but I think you said this is a
laptop)
Some laptop configurations work pretty well. I use my iBook with the MOTU-828 Firewire digital audio box for recording, editing, playback, burning CDs, etc.
Besides ordinary sound recording, I have also have Finale play (i.e. internal speaker playback) while the Mac's sound control panel is set to 'MAS output'. This routes the synthesized sound from Finale directly into Audiodesk (the MOTU audio recording/editing software that comes with the 828). The end result is to create a CD of a piano accompaniment for a student to use while practicing their solo part. It is simple to create multiple versions: with different tempos, with and without a click track, with and without the solo part.
The 828 works with PCs too, if you have the Firewire capability.
