Subject: Comp vs Comp

I have noticed that many computer chess tournaments are run on differing CPU's.
I don't understand how the results of ProgramX runnning on a P200 against
ProgramY running on a P90 are meaningful.  I think the hardware environment
affects the results quite substantially.  For example, given Fritz5 running on a
486 66mz and Fritz5 running on a Pentium 450, I would think that a game analysis
done on the Pentium 450 at 30 seconds per move would be more thorough than a
game analysis done on the 486 at 3 minutes per move.

Am I way off here?
