    <p>Look at a GPSDO GPS Disclipined Oscillator if you need more
      accuracy (and more cost) <br>

      Some quick examples in the $50 to $80 range. 10 MHz<br>

      No prices but you can find them probably on Mouser or Digikey. <br>

      <br>
      Finally you can see what is at EBAY when looking for a 10 MHz
      reference.<br>

        <div>What is the typical stability of the oscillator in a
          consumer x86 platform?</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I don't find that specified for systems, or I don't know
          where to look for the spec. The part numbers on the crystal
          often don't seem to be sufficient to find the stability in the
          XTAL datasheet.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I don't have access to test equipment to measure it.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I appreciate any help, but just to be clear: I'm asking
          about the stability, not the accuracy, so it would be ppm of
          drift and/or jitter over time, not ppm of accuracy.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I intend to use the invariant TSC in x86 processors, but if
          the oscillator is not stable, then the invariant TSC numbers
          will not be as useful to me.</div>

        <div>Thanks.</div>
