The PC rtc is used by some applications (fex: vmware) to provide a |
| 8 |
timer interval greater than the system timer interval. If your system |
| 9 |
has an rtc, it is generally a good idea to enable it... |

Hmm, looks like you enabled RTC class and the "Set system time from |
| 17 |
RTC on startup" options. This you almost certainly do not need, as it |
| 18 |
is really for external real-time clocks that plug in....so unless you |
| 19 |
are running a stratum 1 timeserver, you don't need this. |

But these are not needed. |
