Basic benchmarking

Hi,

What benchmarking utilities would give me a good overview of my computers
performance level and alert me to sub-par operation for the given hardware
configuration?

My system is as follows:

Pentium 4 Processor at 2.8GHz with 800MHz front side bus
1 GB DDR 400MHz SDRAM (2 DIMMs)
128MB DDR ATI Radeon 9800 with TV-Out Video Card
16X DVD-ROM
200 GB EIDE Hard Drive (WD2000JB)
48X CD-RW Drive
56Kbps Data/Fax Modem
Sound Blaster Live! Digital Sound Card

Thanks for the help.

This site will evaluate the entire computer for performance and possible
problems:
www.pcpitstop.com (Click on Full Test) You have to register.

A program called SiSoft Sandra has several benchmarks included. It's
freeware. You can get a free copy here: http://tinyurl.com/8spl

3DMark2001 and 3DMark2003 will evaluate your computers graphic and subsystem
capability. www.futuremark.com These are huge files so you may not want to
download them with a 56k connection.

Once you have run the tests you can upload your results and compare them to
others with similar systems.
