Brisbane isn't too good with the computers or the ladies.

Nowadays, you can hopefully get full specs and properly compare things. Back then, I bought some computer magazines, trying to buy a new computer. I was looking through the ads, trying to get a good deal and they'd throw a bunch of numbers at you. But it was never the same kind of things being measured.
And the ads were obviously designed by somebody who knew how much they were paying for each square inch of ad space and was determined to get their full use out of it. If you, the shopper, had trouble reading it, that was your problem.

Those numbers all measure different things entirely.
Bus speed is how fast the motherboard moves information between components and the CPU.
Horizontal dot pitch is the size of pixels on the monitor. You want this to be smaller, generally.
Level 1 cache is memory storage that's very small, very fast, very expensive, and built into the processor itself. More of it is usually better, but whether or not that's going to be human-noticeable depends on a variety of other factors.
Mean random seek time is a measure of hard drive performance, which was a bigger deal back before solid-state drives, which are 100 times faster.
They are not really comparable things. The measurements have different units entirely. It's like asking if two miles from the freeway is better or worse than a pound of apples.- Terrence
