Look for your monitor in the various monitor#.inf files in \windows\inf.
You can search using a brand or model number.

After you find the "MODEL=Brand Blah Blah" for your monitor go to
the "[MODEL.AddReg]" section and lok at the listing.

Example:

First, I find:

  DL36="Gateway Destination DL36"

Then I look for "[DL36.AddReg]"
which contains:

  HKR,"MODES\800,600",Mode1,,"24.0-40.0,50.0-90.0,+,+"

So, my monitor's frequencies are 24-40 and 50-90.
