30K not possible with Northwood ?

[Gamer]

scored 28300 or so with 4400mhz, ramspeed (mixed BH5-6) 240 @ 2-2-2-5.
GPU (XT-PE)was only at 550/600 (no time to mod yet).

I find that low, if you see the specs.
what is wrong here ?

We all know that a p4 isn't the 'king' of 2k1. I think it's a normal score 4 your specs.
But if jah wanna get 30k ,just bench with windows 2k /2k3 that will give an extra 300-500 points, also try windows tweaks / edit your gva-card bios... and use a v-mod... don't worry you'll get you 30k

ehm, W2K for Intel ?
it's a known fact that XP is the OS for Intel, W2K/3 for AMD.
I'll do a downgrade

XP: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7934871

Everything was fully tweaked. The CPU was acctually clocked lower in the 2K test. XP is not good for anything.

This guy has 30k with his p4, but thats with 675/641 and 4.6ghz. I think you just need some higher clocks.Try to edit your bios and give some more volts, a v-mod will also help a lot (ask colin if he whants to drink a beer at your home :p ).Also try to get some more bandwith (maybe your tccd sticks will do better...).

I beat him in car low/high and almost in Lobby low/high.

I'll ask Colin to drink a with me, after he has done the mod

fsb is very important in 2k1 benching. just try to clock your fsb higher

XP is faster for Intel, period.
