* - when
viewing the graphs, all the motherboards using the i845e chipset are represented
with a red line and the ones using the i845g are using blue lines.
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 all the boards perform very close to each
other; the difference between lowest and highest performing is just 15
points.
The same trend continues in the second half of SysMark2002
Office Benchmarks. We're not really sure why the IT7 MAX lags behind though -
perhaps it is the USB devices strain on system resources used in this half of
the test (just a guess).
