GetTickCount can roll over. Not a showstopper if you take said rollover
into account, but you're much less likely to have a rollover with
RDTSC. Also, RDTSC works at the clock-cycle level, a much more
meaningful value than milliseconds (which don't take into account
processor speed-- e.g.: a 500 MHz Pentium III vs. a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4).

That's my opinion anyways. :P
