I would rather trust clock.exe. clock.exe just programms the videochip for
a common display mode, and the counts the time needed a horizontal frame.
Every number counted is compared to the wellknown of the 28.322 quartz.
But throught the limiation of this method only about 3 numbers are sigificant.
At higher quartzes there may be even higher errors +- 0.5. But clock.exe
definitively shows all frequencies available.
