Sadly, the speed of the processor isn't really dependent of Mhz or Ghz anymore.
For example, the fastest Pentium4's run on a 3.6Ghz (3600Mhz roughly.) however, although the Core2Duo's run slower (1.8Ghz to 2.8Ghz) can be as much as four times as faster compared to a Pentium 4 because the Core2Duo's are more efficient and runs cooler, not to mention those are dual or quad core processors which can be 50 to 100% faster compared to similar but single core processors.

Previous technology Pentiums (Prescott/Presler) went up to 3.73Ghz. BUT they were HOT and only good as spaceheaters. AMD Athlon64 X2 6400+ runs at 3.2Ghz. New Core2 Duo runs up to 3.0Ghz but does more instructions per clock cycle. My idol lets his C2Duo rock n roll to this level:

You can get quad core processors which go up 3.0GHz. Thats a combined speed of 12GHz. On most servers you can now get dual quad core.

stock speed is around 3ghz. however, you can overclock your cpu to an even high clock speed. the amount of overclock varies.
