Performance from OCing - ? What is the difference?

I have an OC'd Athlon XP 1700+ running at around 2.00Ghz+ . How does an overclocked CPU compare to a stock CPU running at its designed speed? Are the performance results comparable? I assume that the stock processor is running "better" than a slower chip that is overclocked.
 
If they are the same CPU family (i.e. Palomino/Tbred/Barton) then the performance should be identical. Provided the FSB is the same for both that is...
 
Be careful how you compare 'equals'.

220 X 10 = 2200MHz.
200 X 11 = 2200MHz.

The above settings produce quite different performance characteristics.

Hope this helps!
 
fsb is the answer. most of the times fsb is the way of ocing and by making fsb higher, performance increases way up the equivalent "official" processor at same speed, that is, 250*10 equals 2500 but is far faster than 200*12.5.
