That's good to know, as i was about to needlessly drop a ton of $$. Part
of the problem is finding both the pre-emptive and low latency scripts for
the particular kernel I'm using (2.4.19), I can find the low latency, and
the 2.5.44 dev kernel comes with prempt built in, but I can't find a
pre-empt kernel patch for 2.4.19, so while I can get decent latency
running things as root, everything is not running as well as it could.

low latency patches help, and the preemtive patch helps, I still get xruns

upgrading processor and memory won't help, then.
you should be able to get reliable low-latency recordings with arecord
on MUCH older hardware.
i suspect some more low-lat. tuning is what you need...
but i'm afraid i don't have much else to suggest.
