That is correct. 60 cycle ac is rectified and filtered to 12 and 5 volt DC current in the power supply; that is it's purpose. The motherboards have no exposure whatsoever to AC utility current (and would be destroyed if they did). Mobos source their clock signal from a quartz crystal IC, or in some cases electrical IC's generate clock signals without the help of a crystal; although I've been given to understand that the latter is not as accurate or stable a method. The clock case here in this thread is probably an instance of the hardware clock being set to GMT instead of LOCAL time. As David Rankin suggested. > On Fri, 01 Nov 2002 08:59:46 -0500 > Bob Read <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Sounds like the system clock is set for 50Hz power line frequency, > > and you are using 60Hz power line. > > > > Bob > > l8r, LX -- 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� Kernel 2.4.18-6mdk Mandrake Linux 8.2 Enlightenment 0.16.5-11mdk Evolution 1.0.2-5mdk Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같�
