i tried changeing this is this for the hardware clock drift ? i dont have any
problem with the hardware clock its the software clock thats fast

looking in this file saw some other options that may help the problem.
i have an ati chipset (newer laptop chipset) ouput of lspci below

some options i saw in that file that i may try
acpi_skip_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
Recognize and ignore IRQ0/pin2 Interrupt Override.
For broken nForce2 BIOS resulting in XT-PIC timer.
enable_timer_pin_1 [i386,x86-64]
Enable PIN 1 of APIC timer
Can be useful to work around chipset bugs
(in particular on some ATI chipsets).
The kernel tries to set a reasonable default.
disable_timer_pin_1 [i386,x86-64]
Disable PIN 1 of APIC timer
Can be useful to work around chipset bugs.
