Maybe my question looks quite amatuerish and maybe there are too many factors to consider to provide me an answer, but I was just wondering if anybody can say... roughly?
Thank you.

What's the equivalent Intel Pentium to an AMD Athlon 2500+?

Oh, yeah missing some specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ "Barton", 333 FSB, 512K Cache Processor

Actually, I did some research and suprisingly found the answer on my own. I thought something like this would be quite hard to find.
The site I found compares the AMD to an Intel Pentium 2.4 ghz.

I'll let you in on a little secret here:
AMD has rated that processor a 2500+ because it will perform roughly equivalent to a... 2500MHz 400fsb P4! The comparison is a bit further apart when dealing with 533fsb P4's, & even further apart with 800fsb P4's - but you can still easily get the ballpark from the rating.

Easily outclassed by the 800fsb P4 2.4 but very close to the old 533fsb 2.4 depending on platform of course.
But when you consider the price differance:
XP2.5+ at just $79.99 and the P4 2.4 800fsb at $159.97 today on Tiger Direct.
This puts the 800fsb Intel P4 2.4 nearly $20 more than a XP3.0+ CPU which is only $139.99 which would you have?
Plus generally top Nforce2 socket "A" mainboards are cheaper than there Intel equivelents so savings all round.
