All the above responses were great advice but, one thing you may want to take into consideration is company policy. I say this because, while I was preparing to move to another state for graduate school, I was trying to figure out when to give my notice. Because I worked in a small office for an agency I thought I'd give a month's notice. When I gave notice, my supervisor commented that it was great I gave a month's notice, as per company policy, in order to receive my full benefits package. I was able to cash in, literally, on my paid time off that I never took.
Check company policy. Also, keep in mind you want to be 100% sure you got the job or about when you would actually be starting before putting in word because if something were to happen (just being practical--not trying to be Debby Downer), you could put in "too much" notice and your company may decide to get rid of you sooner than the time you gave them and you could lose some pay. These are just some things to consider.
