SysMark2002 is more of an extension of SysMark2001 
rather then a whole new benchmark. The applications used during testing have 
been updated and most importantly for AMD users, the new SysMark2002 uses the 
Windows Media Encoder 7.1 which supports the AthlonXP's SSE 
instructions.
Here during 
the internet content the PX845E Silver can keep up with the other newer 
motherboards, but in the Office Productivity it's a tad slower.

Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a system-level, 
application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when 
running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications on Windows 98, 
Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP.
Business Winstone 2002 is a system-level, 
application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when 
running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98, 
Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business Winstone 
doesn't mimic what these packages do; it runs real applications through a series 
of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete those activities 
to produce its performance scores.
 
The two 
Winstone benchmarks send a mixed message. In general, the PX845E Silver can keep 
up with the other boards.
