Also (and note that it's been a while since I've messed around with PC's, but since the "architecture" remains chained to an early-80's design I suspect they're still the same) the PC clock frequency is generally pretty low.
No, it isn't actually. You can get a microsecond timer out of it. The clock interrupts occur only infrequently, but the clock chip itself increments very very fast, and if you wanted microsecond timings of keystrokes there are registers that will give you what you want. Perry
