Benchmarking of the various combinations begins with Pifast. It simply calculates the constant Pi
to the desired number of places. 10 million is chosen for this test. If you want to run it for yourself,

As a comparison this is almost identical to a AMD XP1600 at 1400MHz on an Aopen AK77-Pro motherboard with 256MB of RAM.
A normal reading for the same 2.26GHz Pentium 4 in a Shuttle SS51 is around 100secs
Benchmarking: 3DMark 2001
Next up is the benchmarking tool 3DMark 2001, this gives the graphics and system a really good work out and gives a good indication of how a system will perform in games.
As you can see the Commell scores 1343 3DMarks which is quite low, but this is to be expected as the Intel Extreme Graphics are going to be the limiting factor on 3D performance.
