BTW: I still have systems running which are older than Core2, one

an Intel PIII 550MHz (and keeps good time as a stratum-1 server with

I guess that it would qualify for a low-power processor these days, so
who cares about managing its power and messing with its TSC?
;-)
Low-power in what sense? Work done, or watts consumed? <G>
I would still very much like to have a low-powered (watts) system
running NTP perhaps with a good (for timekeeping) FreeBSD version.
Something the size of a home router, with a serial port for the GPS.
Looking for better than (say) ten microsecond accuracy. About US $100-150.
Unpack and Work or Fiddle a Bit ?
For Fiddle a Bit:
There is a wide spectrum of hardware available.
Take any of the Low Cost Thin clients ( Linux on ARM )
Take any of the "InternetRadio" sets ( same, Linux on ARM )
Take any of the Low Cost Router/WlanAccessPoint Hardware that
can have OpenWRT or similar installed. ( Linux on usually ARM )

Some even have ntpd in their package repository ;-)
