* - memory was running 2-3-3-6 for all tests instead of 2-2-2-5.
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.
Here we
see that despite running with slower memory timings the EPox 8HDA3+ performs on
par with the other K8T800 motherboards.

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.
With the
Winstone 2002 benchmarks we see that the Epox 8HDA3+ is just slightly slower
than the competition at stock
speeds.
