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.

Amazing to see that the SiS 655FX reference board beats both the Asus P4C800-DLX and the Epox 4PCA3+, both of which are among the fastest i875P motherboards on the market! The two i865PE based motherboards lag behind.
