xbench doesn't seem to be that reliable. results vary a fair amount on the same machine and machines with lower specs often score higher than ones with higher specs. it might be ok tool for checking performance differences after an upgrade (new ram/hd) but you'd have to rely on an average of several results and the results probably wouldn't have much value when compared to another machine.
