Hi,

I've got the problem with my server, that the system-clock
is running really fast. It's running over one second too
fast in one hour (aproximately).

The CPU of this machine is underclocked.
It's a Pentium-1 133Mhz running at 75Mhz. All other hardware
is running in its specifications. Can underclocking the CPU
make the clock running faster? (I never saw a clock running
slower on overclocked CPUs. 8-) )
