You are correct but your forgetting the socket change
The Socket 754 3000+ Newcastle chip ran at 2GHz. The new Socket 754 Venice chips also run at 2GHz
Socket 939 is faster clock for clock so the clocks were reduced on the Socket 939 chips so that they'd perform at the same speed

If you could find one, you could upgrade to a 2.53Ghz or 2.66Ghz P4, which would be a reasonable boost. You could even go up to a 3.06Ghz P4 with hyperthreading. I dont know how easy they would be to find though.
Its like just changing your lga775 p4 3.0 to a 3.4. Not going to see much difference, I dont see the point spending the extra money really.
