< Now most design examples use C1 and C2 in the range of 20 to

----------
Cload is the capacitance as seen by the crystal.


   Cload = (C1+pinCap)*(C2+pinCap)/((C1+pinCap)+(C2+pinCap))


If you ignore the ground for a moment you will see that the
two caps are in a series (not parallel) configuration as 
seen by the crystal.
