Don't worry about the actual clock speed anymore. Its pretty much irrelevent now a days. As all the new chips (both P4's and AMD's) are 64 bit, their internal architecture makes slower chips run faster. Always go by their rating. So you are correct in your assumption that an AMD 64 3000+ = a P4 64 3.0.
I don't think there is a huge difference in which chip you get. They all perform very similar. Some lends themselves to overclocking nicer than others. The FX is an AWESOME (currently teh fastest chip on the market) chip but at about $900.00 way over priced.
