Yes, please. :-)

I had an Intel motherboard which had a clock drift. A couple of seconds
a day. When I had to reboot after upgrading/etc, it was not a serious
problem, but say, the system locked up and rebooted unexpectedly, it
always had a huge clock drift if the system had been up for a couple of
weeks/months. I recently got rid of that system, but still I think it's
a good thing to have.
