No. It's more or less chipset specific. >2.

If it's disabled, it uses either the PIT, or the TSC. >Currently we're running an Opteron 2.4ghz dual core processor and >experiencing 43% processor utilization on a full 32 slot server.

Certain AMD chipsets report incorrect operating frequencies for HPET, so you may get clock aliasing. I seen a couple of nVidia boards report HPET running at 25mhz when they are really running at 10mhz >-Matt > >On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 6:13 PM, Midnight <[email protected]> wrote: > > > 2008.
