MHZ myth sort of explained, i think. someone will no doubt correct me :P

Around the time of the 1ghz pentium, a 500mhz G4 was able to beat it. 2 500mhz g4's working together in a dual machine worked twice as fast as 1 1ghz pentium. but that was a few years back now.

the Mhz myth is still apparent, but the G5's aren't turning out to be the amazing pentium killer the G4 was in it's time. however, we turn to AMD for proof that the Mhz Myth still exists. their pentium thrashers often run at half the clock speed of their intel rivals, but beat them quite handsomly. AMD often hides this by calling their processors things like Athlon 3400 or something, when actually it';s running around 2ghz.
