cheers,

When I installed FC5, the clock began gaining a lot using the 2.6.16
kernels. I had no clock problems with FC4 using the kernels prior to
2.6.16. I found the problem to be my motherboard / chipset. I am using
a MSI K7N2 motherboard with Nvidia nForce2 chipset. I found by
disabling the FSB spread spectrum in the BIOS, the problem went away.
If you have a Nvidia nForce2 chipset, you may want to test this work
around.

I do have Nvidia nForce2 so I'll give it a try.

Thanks,
Tim
