SysMark2002 is more of an extension of SysMark2001 rather than 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.

5. A64 3200+/Asus K8V-DLX (237/464) 260

The Asus K8V-DLX/WiFiB performs very well in SysMark2002. It's a shame that the software used in this benchmark does not take advantage of the Athlon64's SSE2 instructions, if it did the Internet Content scores would be much higher.

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.

3. A64 3200+/Gigabyte K8NNXP (200/400) 54

5. A64 3200+/Asus K8V-DLX (237/464) 58.5

Business Winstone

1 A64 3200+/MSI K8T Neo (200/400) 39.6
2. A64 3200+/Albatron K8X800 (200/400) 39.3
3. A64 3200+/Gigabyte K8NNXP (200/400) 39
4. A64 3200+/Asus K8V-DLX (200/400) 39.4
5. A64 3200+/Asus K8V-DLX (237/464) 41.7

Things are a bit closer together here in the Winstone 2002 benchmarks. Still the Asus K8V-DLX/WiFiB at stock speeds is again near the top of the charts in terms of performance.
