-The actual formula is RPM = (60 * 22500) / (count * divisor)

+The readings are most accurate when the fan speed is low
+(i.e., close to the minimum possible RPM reading).
+As fan speed gets closer to the maximum possible RPM reading,
+the reading becomes quite inaccurate. Fortunately, most computer
+fans do not approach 1,000,000 RPM !
