no, but i have 2 2gz athlons that are rated as 2.4gz P4s. the hyper threading is a different kettle of fish. it can do 2 threads at the same time but one will run slower then the other. my 2400+ athlons will run as a 2.4Gz P4 (or should i say beat) and 2 will act as 2 of them. under a SMP enabled app, like building a kernel or something using the make -j3 option, it would, in theory, act as a P4 running @ 4.8Gz. i know its only running @ 4gz in theory (maybe in reality 3.8Gz V a P4) but fast anyway!
