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 the differences between
the RDRAM and DDR RAM is very little. So little that a user wouldn't notice the
differences anyway.

Content Creation Winstone
2001 keeps multiple applications open at once and switches among those
applications. Content Creation Winstone 2001's activities focus on what we call
"hot spots," periods of activity that make your PC really work--the times where
you're likely to see an hourglass or a progress bar.

Since
Content Creation 2001 is an office based benchmark, it acts a lot like SysMark2002 and can't really differentiate between the
two systems.
