Computer Clock Running Fast

My computer's clock is running fast. If I reset the time in "Date and Time Properties - Internet Time" it will be as much as 20 mins. fast in a couple of days. I've heard of computer clocks running slow because of a CMOS battery failing but speeding up? The Windows utility does recalibrate it about once a week, but the time could be an hour out by then and it's a bit of a pain in the ass to manually calibrate it every time I sit down at the 'puter. My computer is less than 4 months old, so I doubt the BIOS is in need of updating.
Is there a way to set the Internet Time Utility to calibrate more frequently?
If not, can anyone suggest a 3rd party utility that would keep the time more accurately than WinXP?

My System:
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ 2.4ghz CPU
Foxconn nForce4 Ultra Athlon 64 MoBo
Seagate 250gb SATA HD
1gb PC3200 400mhz DDR RAM
MSI NX6600 256mb Vid Card
Scorpio 868 Case w/420 watt PSU
WinXP Home SP2
 
Hmm weird, I've never encountered the clock being too slow or too fast...

As long as you selected the right timezone and location, it should be perfectly in sync almost.
