Subject: OK then, so it seems to me that CPU/Mhz speed is almost ground to a halt

I think it's approaching 4 years now that I got my 1.4 Ghz. AMD computer and
setup, being determined that this time, I'd wait untill speed is tripled before
upgrading again. I was determined that I might even be prepared to wait for over
2 years, this time, and would not give in, until it has tripled, AND is at
reasonable price.
But AMD has not yet even reached 2.8 Ghz. which is double. The 64 bit makes only
a very slight difference. So what great accomplishment have I gained with a new
computer even NOW? (other small things for other small purposses were also
almost sufficient [in my computer of] almost 4 years ago, though, I hadn't been
able to exploit all its uses for personal reasons, of not having my own living
quarters).

I'm however, aiming at getting the best laptop for chess as soon as possible.
Can someone tell me a) which that is now, and b) which it will be soon?
Thanks!
