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 the Albatron is a tad faster then the MSI 845PE Max2 motherboard at stock
speeds. Overclocking boosts performance quite a bit as you can see.

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.
The
Winstone benchmarks seem to paint a mixed message. Content Creation finds the
MSI 845PE Max2 motherboard a bit faster at stock, but Business Winstone finds
that the Albatron PX845PEV pro to be faster. Either way, I highly doubt you
would notice the difference as a user.
