I had a Presonus Firebox running with Frames/Periods 64/3 on a ancient
Pentium4 with zero xruns. The very same Firebox spat out xruns by the
score if running it on a Lenovo Laptop with Intel Dualcore with 256/3.
Firewire Interfaces tend to be very picky regarding the chipset oft the
FW-Controller:
and they amok, if there is something on the bus blocking them.

the file /etc/security/limits.conf should have the following lines at
its end:
@audio - rtprio 86
@audio - memlock unlimited
in Ubuntu there is a file called "audio.conf" in a folder named
/etc/security/limits.d . In Fedora the file is called 99jack.conf.
All with the same lines. You need to be member in the group "audio" (or
"jackuser" under Fedora)

On a system like yours any Firewire-Interface should do much better (see
above).
Ever tried a Live-DVD like AVLinux or Pure:Dyne?
