    I'm not really sure but i think it'll be equal to a 1.66 or it'll be slighty less but i'm sure a 1.83 is faster.

    In some tests, a core duo 1.66 T2300 would be about the power of a P4 3.8ghz, perhaps faster. The core duo CPU's are much more efficient, and really quite powerful.

    It's not so clear from the table what Core duo is suitable to 3.2ghz

    It can be seen from the table that the 2.0GHz Pentium M is equivalent to the 3.2GHz Pentium 4.

    The 1.66GHz Core Duo is comparable to a 4.0GHz Pentium 4, which I highly doubt.

    A 1.66 Ghz Core Duo will be about a P4 3.4 Ghz. At multitasking however, the core duo will probably equal a 3.8 Ghz P4. The core duo is alos more energy efficient and better overall.
