Hello,

I currently have a PC with a P4 Northwood 2400 MHz, overclocked to 2700 Mhz. 
I use my PC to do a lot of number crunching, like audio coding and decoding. 
I am trying to figure out if a newer faster PC is really worth the upgrade. 
I have my eyes set on the Core 2 Duo, yet I do not know what performance 
advantage I can get over my current system.  Can you refer me to benchmarks, 
that compare the older Intel P4 CPUs, with these new Core 2 Duo?  Thanks.

T.I.
