Its the same. The only difference is that button does that instantly, while you need to put the battery away for few minutes or longer (there's a trick to speed it up: while battery out, push chassis power button for several seconds).

Capacitors on the motherboard can store quite a bit of power. Holding the case power button down with the battery out discharges them. I usually recommend one or two minutes to be sure the board is completely discharged. I have experienced many times while playing with overclocks that using the clear CMOS button or jumpers won't properly clear the CMOS.
