Hmmm, I see the same sort of clock/timing issues with Linux and Windows XP/Vista on my Turion X2 laptop. And I am aware that at least one of the *BSD groups have been working on the issue. So I don't think the issue is unique to OS's that are older than dirt (whatever that means) or engineered with or without x86 as a priority.
