It used to be that on every computer where I was using Linux, the clocks would drift really badly. After a few weeks, they'd all be fast by as much as 30 minutes, and it got to be annoying to have to periodically reset the time. For instance, this was the case for both a Dell with a 1.8GHz Pentium 4 and for a home-built PC with an Athlon XP 2800+ (via KT400 chipset).
I just realized that since I upgraded to 2.6.9, that problem has gone away. I'm not using NTP, but my clocks are suddenly reliable.
