I realize it's strange:) You probably think 'oh, yeah, guy with aircooled, old-fashioned P4 scores 17k, R U kidding?'... I was shocked, too, but at the same settings but different RAM timings the score was 15k (but I screwd the submission;[ ) There may be some bug in benchmark, but I have seen changes when I e.g. clocked down the graphics. When weather gets colder, I try to repeat benchmark at similar settings, and we'll see:)
