how do I find the processor speed of my computer and what should I look for? Thanks!?

Answer 1

Start, Programs, Accessories, System tools, System Information.
System information will tell you anything you want to know about your computer and a bunch of things you didn't want to know.

Answer 2

When your computer first turns on - look at the screen and read anything before MHZ - that is the processor speed.

While the other posters provide step-by-step instructions on how to accesses processor speed - I'm assuming that the asker may not be as technically savvy. Case in point - my wife has a computer but all she knows is AOL. Following step-by-step instructions is overwhelming for her. Whether I'm wrong in this case - only the asker can decide....

Answer 3

Assuming you are running windows XP on a PC, follow these steps:
Click Start
Right click "my computer"
right click "properties"
click on hardware
click on device manager
click on the plus sign by "processors"

Your speed should be around 2-3 GHz. I hope this helps

(this is if you have a windows)
1.go to the windows bar and click on control panels

2.find and select system

3.in the general system information you'll see what your system runs on yada yada

but what you are looking for here is sometimes
mhz or ghz
(megahertz or gigahertz)
hope that helps

Answer 5

Start
Control Panel (settings then control panel for win 98)

read what is there. It will tell you how much memory you have, will be measured in MB or GB

processing speed will be measured in MHZ or GHZ

Megabytes, gigabytes
megahertz, gigahertz
