I think Mhz is misleading.

Based on my tests 100~=33*7 and 2000~=1000*3

I checked it based on the speed of chess programs with the same hash tables.

My P100 was about 7 times faster than My 386/33 Mhz for Genius3
My A2000Mhz that is called A3000 is about 3 times faster than My A1000Mhz.

I do not consider changes in the hash tables in this comparison.
I think that it is better if people do not use Mhz to estimate speed difference.
