What are ASIO 2.0 drivers?
I ordered this audio interface today and the specs say it supports MME, Direct and ASIO 2.0 drivers.
The interface is an ESI Waveterminal U24. I ordered it from Germany (thomann.de) at nearly half of what stores here want. I needed optical S/PDIF IOs to transfer stuff from my Akai DPS12 to my laptop, so this is great. It also has analog IOs, so I can connect my monitors to it.

ASIO is a very low latency audio driver. It's particularly useful if you're using a midi controller/keyboard (in this case, via the built in usb port) as you can achieve latency at under 6ms (vital if you play live with another person otherwise you'll find it very hard to play in time). Dunno the differences in asio 2, but I imagine it'd be more of the same...

Ok, I suppose it could be useful if I move over to Cubase and start playing with softsynths.
