i hate your world:)

i'll let it run for some days and tell you if the clock runs to fast

from pc world i can tell you that depending on chipset and motherboard,
clocks quite always run too slow (e.g. tyan trinity ~10 minutes/month,
tyan tiger 100 ~5 minutes/month) or too fast (e.g. gigabyte ga-55a 
~5minutes/month)
after a reboot the clock has the correct time again
how much do your raq1 clocks differ per month?
i use ntp to always have the correct time

did you dare to use raqs under netbsd/cobalt in a colocation ?
