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?
