[Tfug] PC Clock

[Jim Secan]

I'm running an SWS system with an ASUS A7N8X-X motherboard, and the
on-board clock has started running systematically fast - on order 10min/day
increase.  I'm kludging by nudging the clock via ntp, but I'm worried
something may be amiss on the hardware side.  It was suggested that the
battery may be going bad, but I would think (perhaps naively) that this
would result in a slow clock.  Might this be the battery, or is something
else going on?  Is changing the battery just a matter of buying one and
doing a swap-out?

TIA
Jim
