Is there a program included with 95/98/Me that will tell me the spped of the proceesor in the machine? Here's the deal: Lady calls, asks for a software install, get to place and find list of needed Specs. I got the rest, and need to know how to determine the processor spped, preferably without a download. Thanks in advance, JAKE

P.S. This is very important and I would like to have the information by Friday evening if at all possible. Thanks again!

You should be able to see the processor speed in the PC's BIOS setup. For most PC's, during the boot process you can press a key to enter the BIOS setup (usually F1).

On one of my PCs, the info was in the "Advance" tab of the BIOS setup.

Hope this helps.

In the bios or on the post screen is a good answer. Just another idea. There's a utility called cpuspeed that'll tell you that and it's small enough to fit onto a floppy disk. Granted, it is a download, but it's something you can have ready before you go there and not install it on her system.

Some BIOSes do not give the processor speed, I use a small program called SysID. I downloaded it for free from http://www.sysid.subnet.dk/. It fits on a floppy and gives lots of info like, operating system and service pack level, processor and speed, memory and more.
