Where's my 6Ghz Pentium something-or-other?

It's been like 3 years since I got my P4 3.06Ghz and I'm a little confused.
I thought that there would be 6Ghz CPUs out on the market by now.

What was that thing about speeds allegedly doubling every 2 years?

The fastest thing I can get from dell these days is a P4 3.8Ghz ?

Did I miss a memo? Since when is a 25% increase a "doubling"?
Could AMD's PR rating/propaganda be right? Maybe it's not about the the Hertz? I'm so confused.

::sigh::

The real problem is that after years of buying a new twice as fast PC every few years, I've been conditioned to want a new (twice as fast) PC every few years.
Right now it's just not worth it. My 3.06Ghz is just fine. And I think that weirds me out more than anything else.



But that wont stop me from looking for a faster video card ;-)

A dual core CPU is the only way you will be able to get a 6 Ghz total computer!
