I just ran it again and I got a score of 108.40, up from 107.89, so it is fairly consistent I guess -- I don't have much experience in this field.
Where are all the new 17s at? Come on guys! Post those scores to cement my belief that I should get one!

Hmmm, more than 5 points lower than the 15" with a 1.25. Must be the hard drive speed. Anyone have a 17" with a 5400 RPM Drive?
Is that normal? It does seem like the 15" models with the 5400 rpm drives have better scores overall than the equivalent models with the standard HD. Is that normal? I would assume that it would only increase the actual disk scores, but not the rest of the system.
I'm getting around an 89 on my 15" 1GHz TiBook.
Not sure I trust the scores though, since it's recognizing my CPU as 667MHz.

Rower,
I think I remember hearing that zapping the PRAM will fix the problem when xbench is misreading CPU scores. But don't quote me.

Worth a shot.
Also, before someone suggests it, yes I have the processor running at "highest" in the Energy Saver prefpane.
Is it the new 10.2.8 update you are running it under? I noticed ever since going from .7 to .8, I lost quite a bit of performance, along with nearly doubling my boot up times and causing video oddities sometimes when I reboot. I'd reinstall .7, but it doesn't seem worth it if Panther will be out this month.
From what I understand, Hard Drive speeds can be quite a bottleneck, not sure if this would come through across the whole test though. The only other different between the two tests is that the 17" had only 512MB of RAM, while the 15' had 1GB. I should hope that the 17", with a faster processor and all, should be able to beat the 15"!
I'm running it on a 15" TiBook...no .7 for me.
10.2.8 has been fine for me, but Xbench is getting confused somehow. Time for 1.1.3.
