I don't think that you need to. That's pretty resonable jitter for a
machine. If you have broadband, I'd recommend setting up network
updating of your time. In Redhat that is on the "Date/Time Properties"
dialog with the checkbox "Enable Network Time Protocol". You can do
that with dial-up also, but you'd have to remember to run it when you
connect to the Internet.
