    The recommended method of accessing the date in systems with Intel desktop boards is indirectly from the Real-Time Clock (RTC) via the BIOS. The BIOS on Intel desktop boards and baseboards contains a century checking and maintenance feature that checks the least two significant digits of the year stored in the RTC during each BIOS request (INT 1Ah) to read the date and, if less than 80 (i.e., 1980 is the first year supported by the PC), updates the century byte to 20.
