Default My USB Audio Interface is Caning My CPU/ASIO performance meter

I just got my Audio Interface home, - (Lexicon Ionix U22) - Within Half an hour, - I was gutted.

First I was dissapointed with the Asio Drivers, I could not select an Exact Buffer setting in Samples, there were just Preset setings where the buffers had been set for me, ,ie,- Slow, Medium, Fast ,Extra fast, it was cool if i was Recording ie, Low input Latencys, But for playing my Keyboard, The Output Latencys were Higher than what I could get with the Standard , ASIO DX full duplex Drivers, that came with Nuendo,

My Second Problem is that The Divers or the Interface seemed to be very unstable, - My CPU/ASIO , Perfomance, meter in Nuendo was all over the place, even when just idle, it was much higher than it was with the standard ASIO driver mentioned above, With 1, instance of Massive Loaded up ,On My favorite patch, it was nearly , 3/4 full,

very annoying,
This has scared me away from audio interfaces,
Do all specific ASIO drivers for Interfaces use a large amount of Processing Power,
Is it coz My PC is Rubbish,

Intel CELERON D , 2.8 ghz
1 gb ram,

Thankfully -- Digital Village -- Let me return it,

Im now thinking of buying a PCI , M audio , Delta or AudioFile,

I really Dont want to be Using up My Valuble PROCESSING Power running My Interface , I just want 24 bit Sound, and Low output Latency for playing my Keyboard,

any Sugesstions would be grately Appreciated,,
