IIRC the x2100 is an Opteron-based system. Is the one you have using dual-core Opterons? ISTR some issues with the TSC (?) in those things when part of the chip would slow-down, but not other parts and that it confused things wrt time. rick jones -- Process shall set you free from the need for rational thought. these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
