How does one bench/xbench test a computer... I would like to. Would I need software or is there a website... In this respect I am a newbie, but I would like to be able to note my machines against each other. Thanks

Yep, it's a program, pretty easy to use as well:

http://www.xbench.com/

Just install and run. After you're done, there's an option to submit your results. You can see how your machine stacked up with similarly-spec'd Macs.
