In most applications and games you won´t notice a speed difference.
By the way, an AMD 64 is always faster than an Athlon XP at the same clock speed. So if your XP 3200+ (2 Ghz) scores higher in a CPU benchmark than your new CPU (2.2 Ghz) then something is wrong.

I have been having problems with the computer resetting when it feels like it, mainly while on the net, could be coincidence though!

That´s almost never just a coincidence. Some people reported that with the A8V, a BIOS update (or even a downgrade in some cases!) helped to solve that problem.
What´s the BIOS revision of your board?
