I know you received some responses on this, but I thought I would throw in my two cents too. I had a 486 board (a Galaxy III if I remember correctly) that is still in production today. From the day I got the board the clock consistantly lost about two minutes a month. I have never replaced the battery, or for that matter done anything other than correct the clock every other month or so. It has never caused a problem with the system. I don't know why the problem exists, but it never seemed to be an issue. Hope this helps.
