I don't know.  I have an Intel-manufactured motherboard (actually a
dozen of them) with ServerWorks chipset and the ACPI timer has always
been broken.  I've been unable to get anyone interested in
investigating this or fixing it, despite the fact that it's an Intel
product (SR2100) and Intel's ACPI implementation.
