The upcoming Kramnik match should prove >revealing in that respect. I think he is certainly Kasparov's equal. The next match is not eqvivalent. I think that there are some problems in comparing by the next match: 1)Kramnik has the program something that kasparov did not have 2)Humans today play better than they played 3 years ago and they certainly know to play better against computers. 3)The conditions that kramnik plays are clearly better and chessbase even cannot change the book except 10 plies between games.
