Thanks for the info!

Is there an instrument (maybe Oscilloscope) to measure 
if the cap/crystal combination is ok? And what should 
I measure (frequency)?

I really want to learn this so that I can apply the
same technique for other scenario or for other chips.

Anyone can point me to tutorial or web page how to
use cap in general. I can understand resistor, but
cap usage is still like a black magic to me when
I look at different schematics.

thanks
