I did some very crude experiments which are reported on the NTP wiki: http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Support/KnownHardwareIssues#Section_9.1.7. On a Windows XP system, the front-side bus spread spectrum option had no evident effect, unlike the choice of HAL (hardware abstraction layer) which was critical (on an nForce2 motherboard).
