Hi
Just a simple CPU question, and probably been answered a million times already.
AMD Atlon XP 2200+
Does the 2200+ at the end mean that this processor runs at the Intel equivalent processor.

AMD "performance rates" it's CPUs. As you said, the model number (2200+) is supposed to be comparable to an Intel processor (2.2GHz), even though the actual clock speed is much lower (2200+ runs at 1.8GHz)
ASUS A7N8X-X Athlon XP 1800+ 8.5 x 200MHz 1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro SP2

It does and doesn't. It depends upon what you use that processor for. If you run it for graphics, then it will do as good as a Pentium 4 2.2ghz if not better. If you run it for enocding, burning etc.. then the Pentium 4 at 2.2ghz will do better then the Athlon XP 2200+.
