Hmm, what would be another contributing factor??? The only thing i can think of is ram speed, but i doubt its enough to make that big a difference. I dont think your score is completely wrong for a 4200, but still something fishy, is it OC'd?
Come on my system isnt that much of a screamer. But i did beat 30's. Sorry.

29.28 is my best. I will restart in Vista and test. I have a P43.4GHz with 3GB DDR2 RAM.
Something else I think you should add (if possible), that when you double click the EXE it doesn't start the test right a way, but rather after you click a "start test" button or something. Just a suggestion that I think I'd like to see be implemented =).
