Self-Benchmarking Software, is where?

[drcroubie]

I'm building a few systems, and will soon have a whole lot of hardware around, and thought it would be a great time to compile my own benchmarks.
So i'm looking for some good, preferably free (or usable demo) software to test performance differences between different configurations (all i've used in the last few years is Prime 95, although i used some Norton thingy around '99ish).

Specifically i'll be testing:
Athlon 3800 vs X2 3800
Dual channel vs Single
Corsair Value Select 5300 vs Twin2X 5400C4
7300GT SLI vs single vs 6150 integrated
RAID 0 vs RAID 1 vs RAID 5
16MB cache vs 8MB cache
WinXP vs Win2000 vs Win98SE
SuSE 10.1 vs Gentoo (maybe, i don't think i could stand to install Gentoo more than twice)

and any others i can think of. I don't have heaps of time to do anything comprehensive, so i'll be looking for only 1, maybe 2 tests for each hardware change.

Games for FPS rates would be nice, especially anything OpenGL-based.
Specific testers for CPU, RAM, HDD speed, etc would be preferred, otherwise i can hook up my own wave-mp3 encoding test (but that's about all i know how to do, tried LAPACK a few years ago and never figured it out).
Speaking of which, If anyone knows any Linux-based benchmarking software, let me know, otherwise i'll be using win.

Suggestions appreciated.
