Here's an interesting KB article on the different hal types.

This came up because i've been researching cpu temp monitors for my amd box. I found some info on nforce2 chipsets and problems keeping time. Switching hals seems to help with amd boxes.. thats why they lose time in windows! Mac minis have problems as well. Anything with a moving cpu frequency can. Finally having a fifo enabled can cause havoc! This page has all the info on that and how to turn of fifos
