[time-nuts] NTP jitter with Linux

[gary]

I built a small form factor PC using the Intel D525.

If you look at the features (or lack thereof!), it lacks "turbo boost" 
and "enhanced Intel Speed Step technology". So you may not have to 
resort to using a uP if you don't want the PC clock to be a moving 
target. I was a bit surprised that the Atoms (at least to that 
generation) didn't play clock and core voltage games.
