* - the pentium 4 2.8 ghz uses
a 133 mhz fsb and was run on an i845pe and e7205 motherboard for performance
reference.
** -
hyperthreading was enabled and running for all the tests because it is
enabled by default in
the bios.
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.
There's no
doubt which system is fastest in SysMark2002! The combination of a Pentium 4
3.0C and the AOpen AX4SPE is extremely fast in office applications!

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.
In
Content Creation
we see about a 5-6% performance increase due to the higher clock speed of
the processor and the higher FSB thanks to the AOpen AX4SPE Max. With Business
Winstone, we get over a 10% increase over the previous mainstream chipset
the i845PE!
