Hi,
Where to start? I have a Dell 7000 laptop and I'm wondering if it can
be a music synthesizer(something like a Minimoog). If not, why not?
If your Dell is what I think it is:

.. then you are severely underpowered compared to equipment from this
millenium. Using as a starting point something that specifically targets
processores from the Pentium II ages - using MMX rather than SSE - could
be an advantage:

[And yes, RT kernel etc is an imperative, as others have already pointed
out]
