A7n8x Deluxe Fast Clock

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Is is your board clock or the XP clock which runs fast for you? I have
had the XP problem, which is sorted by stopping, unloading, reloading,
and restarting the Windows Timer service, but that does not affect the
board clock - a reboot transiently resets the XP clock to the correct
time. If you reboot, is the time correct, or is it still fast?
