I prefer to know first one number to get an estimate for the speed of the
hardware(mhz can be also mentioned but only as second number).

I prefer to read something like
Palm50(400 mhz)
pentium100(90 mhz)

The only thing that we need is an agreement about the meaning of speed that can
be calculated based on the performance of tiger and other chess programs that
work on normal pc and the palm.
