We've changed our test platform for the Pentium4 to the same tests as our Athlon 64 test platform. It made no sense to use tests like Quake 3 3DMark01, which are old and dry benchmarks now. 3DMark05 is the latest version of the 3DMark series and, Doom 3 is the latest OpenGL based game engine so we use them as default tests. It also is useful to have memory benchmarks as it shows the systems ability to manage your systems memory performance.
