The AMD 64 3000+ runs at the equivalent of a P4 running at 3.0GHz, but only clocks at around 1.8GHz. What this helps is that AMD's are able to run cooler and still get the performance of the hotter running P4's at 3.0GHz. The processor you linked to is also 64-bit, which means it will be able to run the new 64-bit operating system coming out by Windows (Vista). This increases the upgradability of your computer to use newer technology.
I myself prefer AMD, but others prefer Intel. From my experience, AMD's are better for gaming machines.

I'm an AMD fan, so I say that AMD is a mighty fine deal. Not a bad price either for a retail store.

when you say clocks around 1.8GHz, what does that mean?

Thats its clock speed, your P4 clocks at 2Ghz. Newer Intel chips are really good and will beat AMDs in performance but they are more expensive so that balances that out, but the AMDs trounce the pentiums. X2s are very good as well from AMD the 3800+ have gotten alot cheaper now and they are two 3000+ cpus in one chip.
