L2 & Memory really don't affect Crafty performance at all. A Tbird 1.33GHz with SDRAM gets almost identical (Within margin of error it would appear) NPS to an AthlonXP 1500+ (1.33ghz) with DDR. With this in mind a clock for clock comparison should be alright considering the other things aren't much of a factor.
