XP execution speed

I measured execution speed of my new PC based on Pentium 4 at 3.4 GHz.
Both CliBench and a small program I created with Visual C++ 6 show
that it is slower than my older PC with Athlon XP at 2.6GHz. One program uses
50% CPU, and two use about 100%, but I do heavy computations and need
100% CPU for one program. How can I do that ?

Do you have HyperThreading enabled in the BIOS?

Did the Athlon XPs even scale to 2.6Ghz? If they did then it's no surprise
it's faster then a Pentium 4 @ 3.4Ghz for singled threaded applications.
