No, a athlon 1600MP is equivalent to a P4 running at 1.6Ghz - in theory. Actualy, it should be slightly better than that, the MP has an enhanced architecture and its at this point that I feel like shooting whatever halfwit marketing executive decided to label Athlons by pentium equivalent rather than by clock rate. But it definately no match for a 3Ghz P4.

Having said that, it should be OK for morrowind, you might not get the maximum image quality though. That depends on you graphics card more than your CPU thoguh.
