I haven't investigated those spread spectrums at all but sometimes there are options: "center" (the frequency is centered around the nominal value, I guess) and "below" (or something like that). If done correctly, "center" shouldn't have visible effect on NTP, should it?
The other important question is "what frequency has spread spectrum enabled"? CPU (= TSC), HPET, RAM, something else? -- Krzysztof Halasa
