Sounds like your mobo is messed up. My old mobo (a Shuttle SK41G) drifted ~0.05 every 3 hours. My new board (an Abit KV-81), drifts more than 1/2 a second every 3 hours. Also, have you checked chrony? It is an independent implementation of the ntp protocol. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA "Thinking men cannot be ruled."
