PCMarks2004 was just released by Futuremark. The mirrors don't seem to be too clogged up yet, so it shouldn't be the same craziness like what happened with 3DMarks2003 a while back

Key User Benefits of PCMark04:
Easy to Use: Easy to use for both novice users, benchmarking professionals, industry vendors and press labs;
Complete Benchmarking Cycle: Benchmark a PC, view the resulting benchmark details, compare the results to those of others, and finally analyze how to improve that PC’s performance;
System and Component Performance: Expose both overall system performance as well as isolate performance of individual PC components;
Integrated Online Result Browser: Instantly compare results to the world’s largest database of performance data with global validation.

PCMark04 Test Suites:
System Test Suite: Extensive collection of application-based tests that emulate typical home usage; tasks include image, audio, and video processing, 3D game play, web page rendering, virus scanning, file compression and encryption, grammar checking, and graphics memory usage;
CPU Test Suite: Includes tests that isolate the performance of the CPU; tasks include image, audio, and video processing, virus scanning, file compression and encryption, and grammar checking;
Memory Performance Testing: Tests measure the performance of the memory subsystem; these tasks involve writing, copying and random access to data blocks in the L1 cache, L2 cache, and main memory;
Graphics Test Suite: Tests measure both 2D and 3D graphics performance of the PC; 2D tasks are moving windows, windows transparency, graphics memory usage, and video playback; 3D tasks exercise fill rate and polygon throughput capabilities for the graphics subsystem;
Hard Disk Drive Test Suite: Using disk activity traces from real-life usage, these tests isolate the performance of the hard disk drive; disk activity measured includes Windows® XP startup, application loading, file copying, and general disk usage.
