Someone asked about other benchmark utilities. The coolest one I've seen is altivec fractal carbon. This program will test your machine to see how fast it can render a fractal. It displays the peak / avg gigaflops that your machine achieved and even allows you to disable altivec & dual processors.

With this benchmark, Atlivec helps A TON. When I shut off dual processors and altivec, my G4 hit nearly [slightly faster] the same gflop rating as my 400MHz powerbook. Which is exactly what I expected to happen.
