SOLVED (With no understanding of why)
The first thing I did when I installed Win8-64-bit and then X2 64-bit was to open my latest project, which used these DXi synths in question. All the settings were correct, as far as MIDI output being directed to the synths, etc. No matter what I tried with latency settings, etc., they would not work.

So, I decided to try creating a new instance of the synths in the same project, and voila, they work. All the settings are the same, but the original ones still don't work.

So, problem solved, but I have no explanation of why. 

Now if I can just get the dropouts from stopping when my buffers are set low. I have to bump them way up to like 1024 to prevent popping and constant dropouts. But won't that create ridiculous latencies when trying to record a synth or something in real time?

Thanks for all the help here.

I don't think you can use the DXi version of Pentagon in 64-bit Windows. . 

You can. There is a 64 Bit DXi that works fine except for some issues in the simulator section. Infact only the DXi version is installed with a standard install of X2. I have a Suspicion that the VST is only available if Pentagon is purchased separately.

Well, there ya have it glyn, that was my suspo as well. but the dxi works fine except for the valley simulators... wondering if they work ok in the vst...
