What Duron does Pentium 500 equate to?

Assuming correct amount of memory then, very approximately, what
speed Duron does this Pentium equate to (with no overclocking):

500 MHz Pentium III
slot 1 fitting
Intel reference SL365


Something like a Duron 650?

No, something like a Duron 500 on socket A.

If sse is is used as in the case of Folding@home my P500 is faster than my
Athlon 500.
Folding@home can use SSE or 3Dnow the SSE P500 runs much faster than the
3Dnow athlon.
Even on later AMD's folding@home runs faster if forced to run SSE.
But on pure X86 FP power the AMD is a lot faster clock for clock than the
P3 500.
It really comes down to the applcation that your trying to run.
