How do you determine my computer processor speed?

Answer 1

If ur using Windows NT, 2000 or XP

1. Goto the start memnu

2. click the run command

3. type "msinfo32"

4. then it shows the system information. Check for the processor description u will find it as 2397 MHZ that means ur processor spedd is 2.3 GHZ

Answer 2

It depends on what your operating system is. The three popular operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Computer speed depends primarily on how fast your central processing unit (CPU) is and how much random access memory (RAM) you have.

The CPU is where all requests to process information go. Information such as hard drive data, the fact that you plugged in a USB drive, etc. A faster CPU will allow your computer to process more information quickly, thereby speeding up your computer.

The RAM is where all information goes, temporarily. More RAM will allow your computer to store more temporary information, thereby speeding up your computer.

Windows XP: Start > Right click "My Computer" > Properties. The processor speed and amount of RAM are in front of you.

Mac OS X: Apple menu > "About this Mac". The processor speed and amount of RAM are in front of you.

Linux:

We will need to open up the command line.

If you are using GNOME or KDE: Type ALT+F2 and in the run command text box, type "xterm".

If you are not using a GUI, switch to another terminal with the ALT+Fx key, where x corresponds to the terminal number, which can be anywhere from 1 to 12, depending on how they are set up.

Now that you have a terminal open...

To get the amount of RAM that you have, type "free -m". The amount of RAM the system has available is in the Mem row, first column named "total".

To get your processor speed, type 'egrep "cpu (MHz|GHz)" /proc/cpuinfo'.

Right-click My Computer, Properties, and it should appear in the lower right hand corner of the window that will pop-up

go into device manager and select the process and click properties You can also get this Program called CPU-Z it's Free http://www.filehippo.com/download_cpuz/

Answer 4

There are a few ways- here are my favorites:

If you have a windows pc, you can use CPU-Z.

You can also find out details in your BIOS. To get there you usually have to press a certain key right when you boot up the computer (the key depends on the machine, it's usually displayed at startup. Try ESC or DEL.)

Answer 5

ok its sooo easy click on the start button then click on the run application or (shortcut is ctrl+ run) then type the word dxdiag in the dialog box that appears then press yes on the next box incase it appears a huge box will appear showin system information closely look at the information until you see the processor part e.g Intel Pentium 1.60 ghz(2 cpus)that's to say if your computer is a dual core if it ain't a dual core then it wont show the brackets of so

Answer 6

There are some programs that you can download to check your processor speed, but if you know the specific processor your computer has, the website of that processor brand should have more information.
