Ways to Find the Speed of Your CPU

There are several ways to find your CPU speed. Below are the most common ways to determine your Central processing Unit’s speed.

At Boot Up

When you boot up you should see the speed of your CPU displayed. The speed will be followed by the manufacturer, example: Pentium II 1000 mhz.

CMOS

You can enter the CMOS screen as the system boots up and find the information on the CPU speed.

Software

You can download several diagnostic software titles that will give you system information such as the amount of Ram installed on your system, hard drive size and CPU speed.

Windows

Windows will display your system properties that contain your CPU speed. Just go to Start then Computer then click on System Properties. All information about your computer is listed here.

If you cannot find the information you need about your processor speed you can always look directly on the CPU itself. Your computer may also have documentation that was included that will give you all the specs of your systems hardware.
