I think that you missed the words "or faster"

*Dual 1 Ghz or faster* is not slower than 2.2 Ghz.

I am also not sure if dual 1 Ghz is slower than 2.2 Ghz.
It is slower if you assume that the speed is proportional to the number of Ghz.

I know based on previous discussions that there was a big disappointment from
the pIV machines and
I understood that the PIV is significantly slower with the same Ghz so I assume
nothing based on only reading the Mhz.
