I usually get down into the single milliseconds for accuracy, and
there are a lot of people who can do the same (or better) on properly
configured Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris boxes. I think you should be
able to do much better than 500 milliseconds. However, setting your
goal at 500 milliseconds should be quite achievable.
