He is probably running a so called "optimized" BOINC application. These are compiled seperately for each CPU type and yield better benchmark results. Thus

There is a big difference between a highly optimized client (which I use on my Opteron) and a faked client which computes an april fool like performance.

Whats your Result duration correction factor? One of my PC's is at 1.98179 and it's always asking for higher credit.
