How much of a performance decrease would I see doing this?

Basically, I'm all about saving money right now, and to do that, I've been thinking about selling off my P4 2.4b o/c'd to 3.06, IT7, XMS2700 512mb (can run 206 at 2.5-3-3-7, can probably even go higher) and replacing it with a mobile AXP 2500+, A7N8X-E Deluxe, and 2x some brand of PC3200 or PC3500 512mb sticks. In theory this should save me around $50-100, which I can really use for other places right now, but would it be worth it? Would an overclocked mobile 2500+ be comparable to my old 3.06ghz P4 without HT in most of the general application and gaming I do? I mean, I know on stuff like encoding it may run slower, as that tends to be more pure clock speed than anything else, but do you guys think many games and such will run noticably slower (oh yeah, I've got a Radeon 9700np)?

Plus there's the fact I always wanted to own an AMD system...
 
I wouldn't do it for a mere $50 to $100 savings. Not worth the hassle. Plus, you'd definitely see a decrease in performance. How much? I dunno, but it wouldn't be worth it to me for such a small amount of cash when it's all said and done.
 
I agree, it's not worth it to sell off that system.

I'd think the mobil 2500+ OCed would be similar in performance, but then again, it feels to me like you'd be trading somethng for the same thing only in AMD clothing.
 
Our WPI fella here is sorta right.

I'd go with a DFI infiniti if you could.

and the 2500 mobile will overclock on air to at least 2.3ghz. which is roughly a P4 800mhz fsb system at 3.4ghz

hell my 2.565system is roughly a 3.75ghz P4

Actaully according to the review athttp://www.techreport.com/reviews/2004q1/athlonxp-m-2500/index.x?pg=1 the AMD mobile chip @ 2400 is averaging closer to the P4c 2.8 instead. Thats only a 400mhz difference so your 2565 would be more equal to a P4 3.0 -3.2.
