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.

BapCo SysMark 2002 Benchmark Results
Internet Content (FSB/Memory) Sysmarks Ranking
1. 8K3A+ 133/333 MHz 220
2. KT4 Ultra 133/400 MHz 221
3. 8K5A2+ 133/333 MHz 219
4. 8K5A2+ 219/439 MHz 239

Office Productivity (FSB/Memory)

1 8K3A+ 133/333 MHz 139
2. KT4 Ultra 133/400 MHz 138
3. 8K5A2+ 133/333 MHz 141
2. 8K5A2+ 219/439 MHz 154

With all the systems at stock speed they all perform about the same even though the boards have different chipsets (KT400 VS KT333). Overclocking the FSB does boost performance nicely.
