This is pure software limits. On a 133M machine u should get 1 ms
easily.
I recall TTimer (if it's what you mean) is fed on WM_TIMER message,
which
in turn is sent out whenever the OS feels like doing so but no more
often
than 55 times per second. Don't rely on the Borland's TTimer for what
you
are trying to achieve. I'd try mm timer instead.
