I have a few webservers that are dual p3 800's with 2gb of pc133 ram

I got my hands on quite a few p4 2.4ghz boards and some ram.. I'll need to pick up a few extra 1GB chips, but I'm wondering how much better the single p4 with 2gb of ddr333 would be against the dual cpu p3 systems.

I'm sure the P4 will be faster, but by how much? twice as fast? any guesses and what is a good app to use to stress test and be able to compare the results (in numbers)??

As hardcore as a dual P3 is, I don't think it can measure up to a 2.4 P4 :(. If I guessed I would say the P4 would be 75% faster. What applications do you use?
