It's doesn't seem to be enough though. <font color=blue>http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,73827,00.asp

But our first system tests of machines using the new 2-GHz and 2.2-GHz Pentium 4 chips showed that an AMD Athlon XP 1900+ comparison system ran business applications faster and held its own on many multimedia apps.

and

The MicronPC, equipped with AMD's Athlon XP 1900+ chip (which runs at 1.6 GHz) and 256MB of DDR SDRAM, posted a score of 119 on our PC WorldBench 4 test suite--that's 9 points higher than the Dell Dimension 8200, with a Pentium 4 2.2 GHz chip and 256MB of RDRAM. Though the difference in speed isn't huge (the MicronPC system performed 8 percent faster), you may notice it.
