"Any machine with spread spectrum clocking" is a pretty outrageous claim, since that includes just about 100% of all machines built today -- it's virtually impossible getting RFI certification without it.

True, but usually they give you an option to turn it off in the BIOS to
make the system actually work with things like NTP.

Maybe I should have said "Any system with spread spectrum enabled".


That, too, is clearly unrealistic, or NTP would be useless except on dedicated systems.
