i doubt it. someone here had posted the tiger and fritz mark on a pentium 4
northwood, about 10 days back(i forget the name of the poster, perhaps if he
reads this he can respond)and it was identical to the benchmarks which others
had posted of an athlon xp at 1600MHZ. This means that a pentium4 2.4 would
atleast run as fast as athlon xp 1.73(the fastest currently available) and a
pentium 2.53 would woud run somewhere between an athlonxp 1.83-1.87 9probably
the latter in view of a faster FSB, faster memory and the superior scaling of a
P4 at higher speeds as compared to an athlon xp.

I greatly fear that amd have taken their eye of the ball and will forever be
playing catchup, one lap behind
