I just bought a Tricom Mega/1024 VGA board that I want to use with
my Hyundai HCM-421E monitor for running X386.

They had two different types of these VGA boards at the store (same price).
The 'old' style board had 3 or 4 different crystals on it, and I believe
the highest one was around 60MHz. The 'new' style board only had one
36MHz crystal on it.

I bought the 'new' one because it had higher rev EPROMS on it.
When I ran Thomas Roell's clock.exe program it detected
clocks at 25.2, 28.3, 32.5 and 36.0.

Would I be better off with the 'old' or 'new' style VGA board?
I am using the monitor in 8514 emulation mode.
