3060MHz = 3.06 GHz.

I'm guessing these two systems do not use the same kind of processor. Comparing different kinds of processors directly based on clock speed is not generally useful. For instance, a 2GHz Core 2 Solo would be much faster than a 2GHz Pentium 4. AMD's chips are generally faster MHz-for-MHz than Intel's (or at least they used to be).
