Clocks in PCs are never accurate, I was always resetting mine until I
acquired Atomic clock , a piece of software which sits on your PC and comes
into action when you are connected to the net, very small, very simple,
unfortunately I have forgotten the URL but a simple search will find it

One downer, is that it is often 10-20 seconds adrift which may stem from the
Internet structure  Question?
hope that that helps

Subject: [PCBUILD] Clock losing time


Hi,
I am wondering what it means that the clock in my system tray continues to
lose time even though I changed the cmos battery only a short while ago. It
is losing time more slowly now than it did before I changed it but still
falls behind about a minute each day.
I have a Micron MME, 200 megahertz processor, 48 meg of ram, Diamond
Stealth video card.
Is it likely that I simply purchased a faulty battery or does it mean
something more serious?
Thanks in advance for any help regarding this.
George
