Probably because people were answering the question that was asked, rather 
than giving a complete dissertation on various alternative chips.  Among 
our 170 networked computers in the library we now have Pentiums, PentiumII, 
K6, K6-2, 586, Celeron, and maybe something else I'm not thinking of this 
late at night.

As far as we're concerned, they're all essentially equal for the same clock 
speed for any practical library purpose.  And for most normal library 
purposes (other than high end servers, etc.), I wouldn't worry about the 
difference between a 300, 400, etc. speed.
