Virtual Machine Clock Reports Time Unpredictably on Multiprocessor Systems

[teemark]

i'm on a hp machine with a 2 duo core AMD turion 64x2 processor, windows xp pro srv pac 2

virtual machine clock won't sink with physical or host. thus far i have followed steps in knowledge base article 2041;

i cannot disable PowerNow or Cool'N'Quiet.

1. i have
   reconfigured my config.ini file to the following;

1. prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = TRUE
   host.cpukHz = "1700000"
   host.noTSC = TRUE
   ptsc.noTSC = TRUE
   host.TSC.noForceSync = TRUE

2. prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"

2. downloaded hot fix from Microsoft knowledge base article 896256

3. assign a virtual machine to a specific NUMA node by inserting into .vmx file
   processors.NUMAnode = "2"

don't know what else to do. i made the above changes in the host machine. need my clock to run correctly in vm machine.

Try AMD Processor Driver on your host Windows OS:

thanks for the lead which seems to be working. the vm clock is now syncing with the host clock when i run processes on the vm in sql.
