Load Testing Crash Course Can someone point me at a good resource to get a crash course in load testing? 

I have a SQL Server machine that I need to load test but I haven't been thruogh the process before. We do not have any third party software for this, or money to purchase any, so that option would be out.
Here is an excellent post from Kendra Little regarding this.

There are several tools out there, both commercial and free. In past when I had need I used
Adam Machanic's SQLQueryStress

SQL Load Generator on CodePlex is another free tool you can use also.
