Even if you were to get a higher quality crystal it would still drift and you'd need a GPS to keep it "on time". The only thing you would gain is that the frequency offset would change at a slower rate. As long as NTP can "keep up" with the rate of drift you are fine. Practically speaking I doubt you could find a better replacement crystal of the correct frequency that would fit in the space. The double oven crystals that are better tend be be the size of a one inch cube, more or less and certainly not the tiny silver can on your motherboard.
