Oh boy, I get to be the teacher and BOTH of you get to learn something! :)
The chip IS RATED at 6Mhz. The reason for this is due to the fact that the
chip has 6,000,000 clock cycles per second. Think about it. Your
computer's CPU is doing something like 133Mhz or 133,000,000 clock cycles
per second. There is no difference in the measurements of speed for either
a PC or a hand-held graphing calculator.
