It may be the (64 bit) qualifier is key.  I know 32-bit ntpd runs on
x64 Windows, but I have no experience to know how it compares to
running on 32-bit Windows.  I wouldn't expect much of a difference,
and perhaps others can share their experience with ntpd on 64-bit
Windows.

On 32-bit Windows, my experiences have been very similar to David
Taylor's.  I would expect sub-millisecond jitter relative to your GPS
source 2ms away, if care has been taken (such as disabling interrupt
coalescing on gigabit ethernet cards).

Good luck,
Dave Hart
