I think that I once read here that a doubling in compute speed does not double you programs playing strength but only adds about 75 or so ELO points to its strength. It was pointed out that with each sucessive depth of search you PC takes about 6 times longer to complete the search. I know from my own personal experience on my old PC which was a 466mhz that my chess program would search to about 6 plys in One minute but on my laptop which is a 1.2ghz I could search to 7 plys in the same amount of time.
