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.
The stock
performance of the KX400-8XV Pro is a bit lower then that of the 8RDA+ (nForce2
SPP). Overclocking does boost performance but please keep in mind the processor
is being overclocked as well.

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.
Like we saw in SysMark2002, the KX400-8XV Pro is about 5%
slower then the reference Epox nForce2 based motherboard.
