The type of the CPU is also very important. Older Pentium 4 CPUs tend to perform quite bad even if they have a high clock rate. Newer Pentium 4 CPUs, Athlon XP, Athlon 64 and Pentium M CPUs perform way better most of the time.
For example,
Soul Calibur normally runs at 60 FPS
On a dual core Athlon 64 3200 (at 2GHz) it runs at 70+ FPS.
On an Athlon XP 3200 (at 2.2GHz) it gets around 60 to 65 FPS.
On an Pentium M 740 (at 1.73GHz) it runs at about 45 to 55 FPS.
On an "old" Pentium 4 (at 2.53GHz) it hardly reaches 40 FPS.
On a "new" Pentium 4 (at 2.4GHz) it should reach about 50 FPS (since most games perform better than on "old" Pentium 4 CPUs)
As you can see the results vary. Note that NullDC does not take advantage of dual core CPUs (yet).

Just to clarify on what PsyMan has said, by older P4's, he is refferring to the A and B class (400 and 533 FSB versions, eg: Williamette), and by newer P4's, he's referring to any P4 C class or higher (Northwood and Prescott), with the newest among them (Prescott) obviously performing the best.
