RE: CubaseSX taking to much power
Your CPU is fine, though you could do with more ram for sure and as its cheap that'd be a good upgrade path to take (512Mb would be good, 1GB better)
Don't forget that XP is also quite a "heavy" o/s so the ram will aid in that regard too..
Welder's right, you're going to need some kind of decent ASIO driver for your soundcard. The soundblaster won't really cut it (which is why you're experiencing load problems etc.), KX is cool as is ASIO4ALL.. google either of these and I think you'll be on the right path.
Make sure your Cubase SX is also patched upto the latest for whatever version you're running..
Cubase SX 1... 1.0.6xxx
Cubase SX 2... 2.2.0.xxx
I've not upgraded to SX3 yet, but I'm sure a quick trip to Steinberg's webpage will see you right
