What kind of software you use to benchmark/test/monitor CPU speed and temperature?

[Abstract]

I just got a a Dell Dimension 9200 w/ an Intel Core 2 duo (e6400) processor. I want to monitor and benchmark the speed and temperature.

Any suggestions of some free software I can use to benchmark/test/monitor CPU speed and temperature?

Thanks.

I wonder who Dell mobo manufacturer is. Mobo manufacturers usually have their own software which is generally good for your purpose.

I have a Dell Dimension 9200 pc system (one of their current top of the line models) and no, they didn't bundle any software for my purpose.
