If not, what is true for WinXP?
ntp seemed a good solution since I thought I could forget about
calibrating it once I install it.
It seems that ntp may not be what I want. Can somebody recommend a
program for WinXP that will consult a time server once an hour (or so)
and set my hardware clock. I'd like it to be as independant as
possible since I envision it running in the background with no
attention from me.
FWIW the hardware clock on my computer drifts about 1.5 seconds per
day. I can set it by hand but I'm not fast enough to get within a
second and I don't want to mess with it normally.
ntp is exactly what you need. You set it up and it does a better job of
keeping time than anything else you could find. Consulting once an hour
isn't such a good idea if your system is drifting that much.
