newb question: whats a way to benchmark the system as a whole?

sandra has cpu and memory bandwidth benchmarks. but if i wanna see a cpu/memory or even cpu/memory/graphics bench in a SINGLE number, is there a program to do so?

i kno sandra has a cache/memory/cpu (or something like that) that might do this, but it gives several scores for the different cache sizes.

.

i'm pretty sure that pcmark04 does that. here is the description from the site: PCMark04 Pro is a premium tool for measuring both normal home use and simple 3D performance of the latest PC hardware. A true unified application benchmark.

And the link: http://www.futuremark.com/download/

i think thats what i was looking for, thanks.

PCMark and 3dMark are good tests of the system as a whole.
