Processor

For PC

There is not an easy way to check on the processor speed. The best that can be done is look for a label on the back of the computer that lists it, or when you first turn the computer on you will see various information displayed on the startup screen as it boots up. In the top area of the display it will have a line that will say "CPU = " and you will see a number followed by MHz. That would be the processor speed.

For MAC
Click the Apple, and click Apple System Profiler. Processor or "Machine Speed" will be listed under hardware overview.
