Follow-up: Re: Clock drift on Transmeta Crusoe (Sony Vaio C1VE)

["Michèl Alexandre Salim" <salimma1@yahoo.co.uk>]

Seems to be a rather common problem and probably that
is why only Mark Hahn has replied so far, but
searching through Google most other computers seem to
get a clock drift of only 1 minute per day at worst,
and I have consistently seen my system clock doing 4
minutes a day slower than its hardware clock, my other
PC and my VCR.

This is rather odd, has anyone experienced anything
like this on the Vaio Crusoe before?

Regards,

Michel
