Basically what he said. The old standard clock chips on most mobos is not fine grained enough to get you to 1000fps on windows. HPET is a newer timer chip on more modern mobos that enables faster timing cycles vs the old timing chips.
For 1000fps you should enable HPET in BIOS, then set sv_maxfps 0 on the command line. I guess it was clear enough, but if you still had any questions I hope that covered them.
