If it consistently loses two minutes every day, why don't you just reset the computer clock 2.5 minutes ahead every morning, or just set an alarm to go off (non-computer alarm). That's a whole lot cheaper than a new motherboard

>>Unless technology has change isn't the system clock function of the crystal on the motherboard. With that said it would take a new crystal to fix the problem or a new motherboard. << I am sorry but I dont have the equipment to change the crystal inside the clock chip. I know that in a lot of the older mother boards the clock chip is the battery backup used by the cmos as well cost like 5 bucks. It is the little black chip which has a few pins missing. But using the software to update the time is a much easier way to fix the problem :> Actually I think everyone should be running it since it makes everyone be on the same track.
