Fellow Members & Guests:
I have been using
TweakMaster software to tweak my DSL speed on a Iwill XP333-R board with a XP 1900+ CPU Win98se system.
TweakMaster comes with a component that syncronizes your computer's time clock (the little display at bottom right of systray) with clocks at the Naval Observatory, and other clocks a user can choose to synchronize with. Every day I get a pop-up from
TweakMaster asking if I would like to syncronize my clock today. I click "yes," and it does so. My computer time is usually off between .27 seconds to about 1 second. I'm more curious than concerned:
Why does the clock in ones computer loose / gain time? Is it simply that electric clocks are not accurate, say for example, like a quartz clock is?
Thx.
