In short: you can't compare the raw MHz's. If you want to compare the effective power then run the same benchmarks on this computer and a Pentium-based one and compare the results. Make sure to run all kinds of benchmarks: general, office-related, game-related etc.

I think AMD's time at the top is over. Intel got their act together and released a chip that can be very effective with games.

AMD's idea of regudgerating older hardware into newer CPU's isnt cutting it. The X2 chip has been a disaster IMHO, the FX on the other hand is very nice. But Intel's Cell will blast them out the water.
