That is like taking a cheap car and an expensive car and comparing speeds based on ONLY RPM of the engine. Compare $ to $, because really thats all that most people care about. You can get an Athlong 1.2ghz for the price of a Pentium 600mhz or so right? Well then compare those two and it will be quickly obvious what is better value.
