Although 3Dmarks are good for graphic, and not very good for CPU, they do require key codes to activate, unless....you know how.

3DMark 2003 is very much based on Graphics only but 2001 is more of a complete test. You do not require key codes either, there are free versions.

Using the same graphic card, MX400 on XP1700+, P4 1,8A, 2.4B, 2A, 2.4C,Celeron 1.8, overclocking from 25 to 67%, 3DMark2001 SE Pro show no or slight difference (less than 10%).

PCMark 2002 from futuremark is another good one, and its free to use, you just don't get the full set of tests in the freebee version, but you still get a good idea of system performance.
