On PC164 you have an exchangeable xtal which gets multiplied for CPU clock and some jumpers to set a divisor from that for many other clocks like PCI, ... If there are jumpers on PC164SX too maybe one of them is loose or just bad. Mmm - well the RTC shouldn't be affected by this. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
