I can't pay for Intel and Arthur has a gigabyte ga-p35-ds3l with an
intel q6600. Chipset seems to be Intel P35 Express / Intel ICH9. What
did Arthur wrong?
There are some old boards that are definitive fine with 64 Studio and
that are not expensive, but I didn't find a dealer who sells those
boards. Also those boards aren't available second hand with the warranty
that they aren't defect.
I also get recommendations to buy AMD, for example your suggestion was:

I have no idea what this costs wherever you are, but in my neck of the
woods you can get 2 GB of DDR2 + AMD 4200+ (dual core) + Asus M2N-VM for
~$199 CDN brand new.

You won't find such a dealer where I live. I have contacts too, e.g. the
friend who would buy my M2A-VM, but that won't be a help, if I don't
know what to buy instead.

Intel is extreme expensive in Germany and as a wrote above, Intel can
fail too.

Not for the applications I'm using. Everything is fine until now, as
long as I don't run a MIDI sequencer.

'The latest prepatch for the stable Linux kernel tree is: 2.6.27-rc8'
but there's still no rt patch at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/. There also isn't a
2.6.25 rt patch, but Suse has got a 2.6.25 rt kernel, so there seems to
be a way to build such a patch, but I don't know how to do this.
Cheers,
Ralf
