The PC is another perfect example on how to throw some number at people and they go crazy for. Its the Mhz of the CPU, people always want the fastest clocking available, hardly caring for any other features, caches, memory speed, effective registers, etc. all they are crazy for is some high number for the CPU clock... even if the CPU actually ignores every 3rd tick
