Ken,
I'm in the process of getting my i5-661/DH55HC up to date. When
that's done I'll reload the rt-sources kernel and give it a try.
Stay tuned.

Someone - Ken maybe? - mentioned an issue with the integrated GFX
machines not working with the real-time kernel. That's a good point
and one I cannot speak to at the moment as I'm not running the
rt-kernel on that machine at this time. I could look into trying it
out, if I get some time, but it would likely be a week or two before I
could report anything back. I think the safest bet is probably NVidia,
but they also have problems at time with different kernels. Linux is
SUCH a crap-shoot when it comes to this stuff. There are never any
guarantees.
It was me, and AFAICT nobody answered that question either.
Neither I nor anyone I know can afford $US700+ for a "crap shoot". How can one
buy a system without knowing if the graphics chip works with RT kernel first? Surely there
must be some way to find out short of spending the money and then having to return it (or
switch distros).
