If yes, then it's possible that the 32-bit and 64-bit kernels configure the PC differently; for example, there might be noise on the power line due to a different kind of power management.
another interesting angle... I thought it might be power or some kind of internal noise. How could I pursue that further?
Try running something on all CPU cores so that it doesn't switch into power saving mode.
I wrote a small cpu-hog to exercise all 8 cores. I didn't notice any difference with the metering on jkmeter. My CPU fans increased speed though.
Now that I'm thinking about it, wouldn't any type of interference register under windows as well?
Have there been any other reports of this nature regarding 32 vs 64-bit anomalies?
