SiSoft Sandra 2001CPU and Multimedia Bench

A new addition is the synthetic benchmark suite SiSoft Sandra 2002. In comparison to its previous version, 2001, the resulting test values in this version can be reproduced. Nevertheless, a run-through of Sandra does not prove that a system is fully stable. As we've confirmed in our tests, the AMD Athlon XP could attain a benchmark value of 1912 MHz with Sandra 2002, while all other test programs caused a system crash.
