Clock speed has always be bogus
I remember people buying the first gen celron thinking that it was actually fast than than the Pentium II.

Or buying the 486DX 133MHZ instead of the pentium 90 which was faster big time.

You have to watch for the new tech. Things like hyper threading, 64 bit vs 32 bit, cache location and levels and all that stuff.
