chipset

well it's even worse; HPET needs to be exposed by the BIOS (via acpi) to
the operating system, and there are many bioses out there from some well
known vendors that don't expose HPET on hardware that is HPET capable...
(and some have it as bios switch)

so there is no easy answer unfortunately...
