please note, we could not get the sr7-8x to run with the memory
operating at 400 mhz no matter what we tried or used.
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.
SysMark2002 seems to like the SR7-8X more then the 648 MAX
even though the memory bandwidth is lower... Please remember though, on the MSI
648 MAX, the performance difference between 400 MHz memory operation and 333 MHz
memory was nil.

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.
Business Winstone is a
system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall
performance when running today's Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98
ME, Windows NT 4.0 (SP6 or later), Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP which
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.
Here we
see that the motherboard perform about the same no matter what the speed they're running.
