Here's what I see on my Windows PCs:
http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_ntp.php
PCs Feenix, Stamsund, Alta and Bacchus have PPS sources. For the best one
(Feenix, which runs XP), I would only claim "a couple of hundred
microseconds". The PC Pixie at the top of that page is an Intel Atom
system running FreeBSD 8.0.
For many purposes, with one millisecond is quite adequate, for other
purpose, it's not.
Cheers,
David
