I know this sounds like a NOOB question, but.......

Title and summary say it all. I have a couple of AMD systems at home for the wife and kid but never put in any serious HW in it like vid card and such.

probably P4 2.2 or P4 2.4

Roughly a P4 2.0 GHz with 533 FSB. A bit slower than a 2.0C at 800 FSB, but much faster than a 2.0 GHz Celeron in most apps.

Great for office apps, web, email, but a little slow for recent games.

There is no such processor

Ditto.

That is true.

THG benchmarks put the Athlon XP 2000+ right where you'd expect: around the Pentium 4 1.8 - 2.2 GHz (FSB400/512KB). Celerons are a bit tougher to gauge, but I'd say the Athlon XP 2000+ is roughly equivalent to a Celeron 2.6 GHz.

I wasn't saying such CPUs existed, just that those speeds would match. XP PR ratings were conserative when compared to 400 FSB, roughly correct compared to 533 FSB P4s, and became overrated by 10% or more compared to the 800 FSB P4s.

The XP 2000+ would have about 5-10% advantage of P4 2 Ghz

In some situations, sure. In other situations, the P4 1.8A out-muscles the XP 2000+. Read that link I gave you guys.
