  We recieved the following bunch of errors in the SQL Logs....

  "The time stamp counter of CPU on scheduler id 3 is not synchronized with other CPUs."

  "The time stamp counter of CPU on scheduler id 3 is not synchronized with other CPUs."

  "The time stamp counter of CPU on scheduler id 3 is not synchronized with other CPUs."

  ....

  My first though was use the /usepmtimer in the boot.ini, but then I remember I had to use that fix on an AMD server. This is an Intel Xeon 3.4GHz CPU Dual Core.

  Any ideas on how to prevent this on an Intel Xeon based HP Server??
