SATA controllers.
On two of my machines, only the Silicon Image controller (which is a
secondary controller) doesn't have drivers, both the VIA onchip (on the same
board) and the nVidia on my other machine do.

installed x32 (on different drive) thinking that might be the problem.
nope. Found a note somewhere online about using OEM sata drivers so
installed the drivers that came with my board (MSI). No sound stuttering or
mouse skipping. Seems the SATA drivers in RC1 are crap.

audio/video choppiness .. Loading older VIA SATA drivers cleared up the sound
studdering issue. I saw lots of people with this problem I hope they find
this post as well.
I did the same thing, went from 64 to 32 bit install and am wondering if I
should spend the time loading the 64bit version again.
