How fast?

[Phil2112]

Having had my Ultima Accelerator 4850 system for only a few days I'm amazed at how much faster it is than my old P4 set up.It got me wondering what would a P4 have to run at to match the speed of my new system. ie 6GHz?
My old system was a Dell 4600,P4 (3.06GHz,533FSB),7600 GT card & 4MB ram,new system is ;
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) Overclocked to 3.30GHz
- HIS ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
- Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX

something stupid liked 7-9ghz to match one core.

P4 did something which meant they could get higher clocks speeds but it meant that per clock it gave half performance, all because of the Ghz wars
