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.

6. Pentium 4 3.0C/Gigabyte i875P (225/360) 261

The Gigabyte GA-8KNXP starts from the gates very well. Here we see it's the fastest stock i875P motherboard we've ever tested! Overclocking seems to boost the Internet Content side of SysMark2002 more.

Winstone 2002 Source: Zdnet

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.

Winstone 2002 Benchmark Results
Content Creation (FSB/Memory) Score Ranking
1. Pentium 4 3.0C/Asus i875P (200/400) 48.5
2. Pentium 4 3.0C/Epox i875P (200/400) 48.3
3. Pentium 4 3.0C/MSI i865PE (200/400) 47.6
4. Pentium 4 3.0C/Abit i865PE (200/400) 47.4
5. Pentium 4 3.0C/Gigabyte i875P (200/400) 49
6. Pentium 4 3.0C/Gigabyte i875P (225/360) 51.8

Business Winstone (FSB/Memory)

1 Pentium 4 3.0C/Asus i875P (200/400) 34.5
2. Pentium 4 3.0C/Epox i875P (200/400) 34.6
3. Pentium 4 3.0C/MSI i865PE (200/400) 33.5
4. Pentium 4 3.0C/Abit i865PE (200/400) 33.3
5. Pentium 4 3.0C/Gigabyte i875P (200/400) 34.5
6. Pentium 4 3.0C/Gigabyte i875P (225/360) 35.7

While the numbers are not as large in Winstone 2002, we see the Gigabyte GA-8KNXP in the front.
