I do not know what do you mean by 400 Mhz but if Tiger on 400 Mhz palm is only
at similiar strength to old Fritz3 on 90Mhz than 400 Mhz do not mean much.

I prefer to be able to use a single number to decide if hardware x is better
than hardware y for most chess programs that can run on both hardwares.

Why not invent sn(speed number) for every hardware when you can use some chess
programs that can run on both hardware to calculate the sn?
