Time Synch Architecture in Windows Domain Environment

Hi Everybody,
I just read the following article --
"In a domain, time synchronization takes place when Windows Time Service turns on during system startup and periodically while the system is running."
(
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779145%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
)
From the above article i get to know that the first sync it take as soon as i start my system, but after that
in how many minutes or second or in how many periodic interval my windows client ( Window XP, window7 or window server 2008 member ) synch with my Domain controller (PDC emulator )???
Do you have any idea, and how should i verify my synch time interval?
My Domain Controller is Window server 2008 R2 Standard

Thanks & Regards,
Param
