During testing, 8x AGP was enabled and functioning
properly on all motherboards.
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 the FIC AU11 and the Epox 8RDA+ perform the same and the MSI K7N2-L
lags behind just a tad (because the memory is not running in sync with the FSB).
