"checking the processor speed"


          

Hi everyone;

Is there some sort of command or utility in Windows 98se to determine the processor speed of the pc? If not, is it printed on the processor chip somewhere or on the motherboard? Thank you in advance

KennyS

Do you have an Intel (Pentium) processor?

This information was provided by someone at this forum some time ago:

1.Go to Accessories/System Tools/System Information
2.Click on Tools
3.Select Windows Report Tool
4.Click on the blue Change System File Selections towards the bottom of the window
This will perform a short scan of your system files
Your processor speed, memory, hard drives will then show up.

It does work.

actually, it's even easier than that:

1.Go to Accessories/System Tools/System Information
2.Click on System Summary

the processor info will be displayed on the right.

Happy computing!

Thank you very much for the info. I have an AMD K-6 3D Now processor which should be 550 Mhz. However windows 98se says it is 439Mhz. Why does it show less? Thanx again

You can also use a program such as WCPUID to determine your CPU and FSB speed.

You may download it immediately by clicking on the link below.

I'm not sure why it shows it much less. For pentium users, or even AMD (I recall reading this is only for pentium users, but you can try it anyway, and tell us if it works or not), try and use this program. It might not be totally accurate, but it hasn't been off by more than 6 mhz for me.
