How accurate is the pentium clock register:

I found this in /sys/i386/isa/clock.c:

#if defined(I586_CPU) || defined(I686_CPU)
        if (cpu_class == CPUCLASS_586 || cpu_class == CPUCLASS_686)
                wrmsr(0x10, 0LL);       /* XXX 0x10 is the MSR for the TSC */
#endif


Thank you,
	Amancio
