I'm working on a clients computer:
PIII 933, 133 FSB, 256K Cache
128 MB RAM
60 GB HDD
Gigabyte motherboard

The problem I'm having is one I've never experienced before, the
hardware clock runs at a normal pace, but the clock and everything in
Windows XP runs in super turbo mode, minutes pass in seconds, it has
become impossible to double click even at the lowest speed setting in
the mouse panel. I've checked if it was overclocked, or if the cpu was
misidentified, but it all checks out fine. I've seen posts about the
whole windows clock moves 4 fast ticks, one long one, but this is much
worse than that in a matter of a minute over a whole windows hour has
passed on the clock.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a hardware issue,try shutdown,power-off,remove the battery,move
the CMOS jumper pin on the board from 1-2 to 2-3 position for 2 minutes,then
set back in 1-2 position,replace the battery,start computer.You'll need to
set
BIOS settings on starting computer but this clears the BIOS CMOS.
