What is the difference between an internal and external clock? |
[Edit] |
Answer
The internal is located inside your computer. If your running Windows, the time it keeps is display on the lower right side of the screen.
An external clock is usually located on another system and can be accessed with software. You can get software to sync your internal clock to that other system. The National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) hosts a clock that many computer users and businesses sync to.

Whats a internal clock? What is the external clock setting? Only one you can think of is that the internal clock on the computer is actually controled by a crystal that vibrates at the correct frequency?
