-The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware is the future replacement -for the 8254 and Real Time Clock (RTC) periodic timer functionality. -Each HPET can have up to 32 timers. It is possible to configure the -first two timers as legacy replacements for 8254 and RTC periodic timers. -A specification done by Intel and Microsoft can be found at -<http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm>.
