Selecting correct Hz for new monitor

I'm using Windows 98 and I just bought a new monitor, a Samsung
SyncMaster 793s 17" screen. My old one was a Samsung Syncmaster 3 14"
screen.

When I went to change the monitor type on the Active Desktop list of
monitors, it obviously didn't have the newer 793s, so I tried to pick
a standardized monitor type from the list (at the top of the list it
says "standard monitor types").

I'm stuck between 2 options:
Super VGA 1024x768
Super VGA 1024x768 at 75 Hz

How can I tell which one I should pick? Also, does it matter if I
continue to use the monitor with the setting wrongly selected for the
older Syncmaster 3? What does this setting change, anyhow?

I should also note that the CD that came with the monitor only
provided drivers for Win2000 and up to Win XP, but not for Win 95/98.
