8x AGP was functioning properly on both 
motherboards.
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 seems to favor the K7N2 quite a bit more then the KT400 based motherboard. 
In the Office Productivity portion of the benchmark the performance is much closer.
