i don't believe that...

but for instance the P4 1.4GHz i have at home is very old, one of the first of
it's kind. it is 4 (!!) times slower at my chess program than my centrino 1.3
GHz was. while the 2.4GHz P4 at my office is nearly the same speed. the first
P4s had *tiny* caches which i guess explains the difference. both are of the
same brand, dell, so you can't epxlain it with "computers you buy".
