> How does one read the HW clocks under Windows?
  I think of Windows as a super-CISC (virtual) machine.  Things like
interesting Pentium instructions, such as IO, are not available on that
machine (at least unless you write "device drivers").  :(

    Isn't there a single base clock source for the system and all other
clocks are just base/N for some N and thus synchronous?
