I beg to differ from you on this point.  I have designed a MHz
counting function that (so far) has returned correct or close-to
correct results on all PC's it has been run on.  The largest error
margin was on a 4.77 MHz XT that clocked as 3.5 MHz.  Usually the
function is right on the money.

What _IS_ impossible is to take into account and adjust for all the
billions of possible combinations of cache/chipset/CPU to arrive
at the exact correct number all the time.
