If you replaced your CPU with one a few years old or newer, you'd notice a big difference. (Your first Athlon is from 2006, newer one is from 2008).

A boost from 2.2gig to 3.0 gig is a 70% increase.

You can't compare processors by clock speed unless they're exactly the same otherwise.
These CPUs are 2 years apart (and running on different architectures), meaning a comparison on clock speed won't give an accurate performance figure between them.
