One quick tip:

I just recently installed 6.10 (wich I guess you are referring to..?), 
and discovered a hackish-but-working method of getting RT in Ubuntu: 
Install the 64studio multimedia-kernel package. Works great here, I now 
got a rock steady 2.9ms on an el crap'o laptop soundcard, running with 
Beryl and Emerald! Didn't need to edit limits.conf.

Now beat that, Windows...

You won't get all modules etc from the ubuntu kernel, so if you need any 
of those that might require some more hacking.
