Certainly not. I currently run a 1.6GHz P4 notebook with a 
2.6.10 vanilla kernel with the RT-LSM-Module configured 
(distro is Gentoo). I use a cheap Terratec USB card. I get 
latencies about 16msecs. This is not first choice, but enough 
for my personal needs (of course I'd prefer less 
latency ;-) .

If you have any further problems, let us know, I guess we can 
help you setting up your box.


Best regards
