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.

SysMark 2002 does get a performance boost as the FSB is raised, but that's probably more due to the processor speed then anything else. Of course to keep the CPU feed with enough data bandwidth, the RDRAM didn't mind running at a higher FSB either.
