So it make me beleave its not a ui issue if only one person is having it.

If more are having this issue please speak up, PM what ever just let me know so I can keep searching.. I can not make my system crash even with 512k ram ( I lag like a mug though ).

Actually I run at 1920x1440 in extreme quality yes thats quality not performance. Only reason you might crash with this ui and not another one is because this one might require more resources to load because of the additional graphics. Easy fix for this would be to just increase your pagefile. Normally it should be 768Mb for 512Mb of ram but since you are crashing alot set it to 1536 minimum and maximum size. Right click my computer icon / properties / advanced / Performance settings / Advanced tab / Virtual Memory Change / Initial size set to 1536 Maximum Size set to 1536 then click Set button. Click Ok Ok Ok Ok Restart and then you should be good. (Note I use this computer as TeamSpeak server for guild, run UI Builder, Frontpage, have webpages open, microsoft outlook, web and ftp server, and everquest running and never crash.)

Another thing you might want to do is update your drivers to latest version and make sure to run a full file scan. Sometimes when EQ crashes it can corrupt a couple files which later cause other crashes. Defraging your hard drive and pagefile can help as well. Defraging hard drive is simple to defrag your pagefile with standard windows tools it's a bit more complicated but not too hard. Just set the page file to no page file then reboot. When it comes up set it back to the the 1536 size.

If after all of the above is done and you are still crashing it could be caused by improperly paired ram. Assuming you are using 2 256Mb sticks, and everything else is up to date IE drivers and such. Run Prime2004 before you go to bed it is a burn in program used to test system stability. This program is particulary usefull if your computer is overclocked. Or plan on overclocking can be used to test maximum stable overclock. This program is based off of the widely popular Prime95 and uses much of the same sourcecode but with a better user interface.
