I am upgrading my computer, and my new pieces should arive in the next day or two.

I want to run some benchmark tests before and after I install the new componants.

My Current system specs:

Dell XPS410
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400 (2.13GHz,1066FSB) with 2MB cache
1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz (PC5300)
250GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200RPM)
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE
Samsung SyncMaster 20.1" Flat-Panel TFT-LCD Monitor - 204B (Running in 1600x1200)
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
Sound Blaster Audigy MB Audio

I am getting two more 512 MB sticks of RAM, for a total of 2 GB.
I am getting the EVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 KO Video Card

What are the benchmark tests I should run before and after my upgrade? I'm assuming 3dMark is the video card benchmark I should run. Are there any other or better ones to run? I would also like to run a benchmark test for just my RAM also. Anything out there that would do this?

My plan would be to do the following:
1) Run Benchmarks in current config
2) Add RAM; Run Benchmarks
3) Add new Video Card; Run Benchmarks

Thanks!
