Well as an update, running 2.6.14 in the last 17 hours, my system gained
26 minutes. That seems to average gaining 1s every 44s. So while
better than 2.6.12 by a lot, there is certainly still something odd with
the nforce2 handling.

I think I need to go grab that python script and run it to see how it is
gaining since it doesn't really appear to be at a constant rate.

Maybe I should check if my bios is the latest version.

And I could try with the apic override options.

I will try a few more things to see what is happening.
