Seems to be a rather common problem and probably that is why only Mark Hahn has replied so far, but searching through Google most other computers seem to get a clock drift of only 1 minute per day at worst, and I have consistently seen my system clock doing 4 minutes a day slower than its hardware clock, my other PC and my VCR. This is rather odd, has anyone experienced anything like this on the Vaio Crusoe before?
