I had an interesting result. I downloaded RMclock and with [EMAIL PROTECTED] running the CPU was at full load and speed. I stopped Seti and the load dropped to almost nothing but the speed stayed the same. After about a minute the offset and jitter readings went through the roof. My offsets were above half a second! There was no reduction in anything CPU related while this happened. When I get access to the machine I'll take a look at the bios settings to make sure I have the power settings in an optimal configuration.
Unfortunately I'm stuck with Windows for the time being because the EMWIN software I use is windows only. If I ran FreeBSD in a virtual machine would I be saddled with the imperfections in the Windows timing scheme?
