    3dMark05 and 3DMark06 are standard benchmarking utilities, I don't have a link on top of my head but just google it. Their basic versions are free and will give you a score that you can compare to others with the same equipment.

    I'd recommend against 3dmark06. 3dmark03 and 3dmark05 are going to stress integrated graphics enough, and is usually a pointless exercise anyway.

    But really, the only thing that matters is if the graphics card does what you want it to do. Will it play the games you want to play? Then it's enough.
