* - HyperThreading was enabled and running for all
the tests.
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.
It
shouldn't be any surprise that the Albatron PX865PE Lite Pro comes in last in
SysMark2002 when it's at stock. The i848P is good chipset, but quite as fast
as i865PE in this case.

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.
Again the
Albatron PX865PE Lite Pro comes in last. I'm not sure if you'd actually notice
the difference in office based applications, but the performance difference
in 3D app's should be larger. So in other words, the i848P should make a
very cost-effective platform for office workstations that handle typical Word, Web, or
other standard office applications.
