Look around on your mainboard's installation cd if your computer came with one, or go to the site for your mainboard.  They often have a utility for monitoring your cpu and case fan speeds, given in a choice of F or C.\n\nBut be aware that devices that you want to monitor for temps must have some kind of hardware attached to them that does the measuring - main boards come with this for cpu and one or more of the fans, but not for the other things you mention.

1. Check the fan, if the cooling system is bad the processor will automatically step down its speed\n2. Remove all spyware and viruses by installing a good antivirus software\n3. Make sure you un install all software that you dont need. Any thing that runs in the back ground such as database services etc.\n4. Check how much RAM is currently being utilised and which processes are taking max cpu time. That might give you an indication which program is slowing it down.\n5. Check memory for consistency by doing a memchk from command prompt. Also check that CMOS setup detects the right amount of memory installed (2GB in your case)\n6. Try using Firefox browser. Its more resilient to spyware etc.

That depends on if you need info about YOUR processor or processors in general. If it's about your processor, your best bet is to type into google your PC's model number ans the word "specs", and maybe "processor" as well, and you should be able to find a page with your specific computer's processor type. \nIf you need more information or are looking for info on other processors, sites that sell them, like www.newegg.com or www.microcenter.com should have fairly detailed specifications.\nIf you're just looking for a brief tutorial on CPU's, I can tell you a little bit here: the CPU is the central processing unit of your computer. It is whatdoes the calculations for the computer. CPU's are rated according to clock speed, and will have a number in gigahertz (GHz) showing the speed. However, speed is not the only determining factor. Some processors can do more calculations per second, but some also need more as they are not efficient, or are slowed down by the way they transfer information to the rest of the computer. A processor must fit the motherboard it is on, which means they must be of matching socket types (you'll find this info with the rest of the CPU's specs). Some CPU's are "dual core" which means there are essentially 2 processors working together to speed things up, although this will not be as fast as double the clock speed. (ie, a dual-core 1.5 GHz will not be the same as a single core 3 GHz) Processors can also be either 32-bit or 64-bit, and 64-bit is becoming more popular, as it will be able to support new, advanced software in the future. If you're buying a processor, also consider the type of memory that goes with the motherboard, as some kinds are faster than others. There are more advanced things, as well, but that's about the extent of my knowledge. If you have more questions, just post them and I'll see what I can do.

there's a little program called cpuid that tells you this and more but you could look in your bios too

You need to go to my computer, then to the control panel, then to the performance and maintenance and performance. Then click on the system icon. Almost at the bottom of the page it will tell you what kind of processor you have, such as 2.9 ghz and beside that it should say something like 512 mb of ram. There you go, I hope I really helped.
1003857
it depends on the bus speed of your computer im guessing at 2.7 ghz it should be pc2700 but more likely pc3200 and it depends on if your running ddr sd ram or just sd ram and dont buy the bargain ram spend the money on the more expensive ram its more dependable

The best way to find out that info is to go to accessories, system tools, system information, then + sign next to components then click on display. You'll get what you want and much more.

check the model of the motherboard and go to the manufacturer website to check the specifications of it . try read ur motherboard manual.\n\nif u lost ur manual book, then install softwares to view the specification of ur computer for example : CPUZ \nthen u can see the specs of ur mobo and search the model in yaho

Download a program called SiSoftware Sandra at http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=92\n It will tell you what model your motherboard is, how much memory it can use etc. If you at least know what model the motherboard is then you can look up the specs, otherwise there is no way of knowing.

ah there correct but 10% us okay to overclock maximum is about 20%... but i warn you if you overclock your cpu or your comptuer warranty will be cut off and it wont exist anymore for you.... here i can give you all the info. you need hold on....\n\n\n\n\nPC Hardware: Free Speed: Overclocking Your PC\nPerformance Boosting Basics\nWant a free speed boost for your computer? Try a little overclocking--an enthusiast trick that PC tweakers have been using for years to get free speed out of their systems. Many of today's CPUs can run faster than they're rated to do, and getting that added performance is simply a matter of carefully changing some settings. Overclocking won't turn an ancient PC into a powerhouse, but it can help you squeeze every drop of performance out of your machine.\nTwo variables set the speed at which your CPU runs: the system bus speed, and the CPU's clock multiplier. To determine the CPU's actual operating speed, those two values are multiplied together. For instance, a bus speed of 100 MHz and a multiplier value of 5.5 translate to a CPU running speed of 550 MHz. This simple formula works with most Intel Celeron, Pentium II, Pentium III, and Pentium 4 chips, as well as with AMD chips.\nSome motherboard and CPU combinations let you change one or both of those variables, setting a new speed for the CPU. Boost either setting and you're officially overclocking. In my experience, most CPUs and motherboards will run fine when overclocked 10 to 20 percent faster than the rated CPU speed. The bus speed setting may also affect the speed of the PCI or AGP bus, depending on which chip set the motherboard uses and how that chip set connects to all of the subsystems on the board.\nThe trick to overclocking is in knowing when to stop. Crank up the speed completely beyond the operating limits of the CPU, system bus, or RAM, and the PC will crash or freeze a lot. If you've set the clock too high on a system that holds the clock settings in BIOS, it may fail to boot, and you'll have to use the PC Setup program to reset the clock settings stored in CMOS RAM. (In some cases, you may have to reset the CMOS RAM more directly: Either remove the CMOS memory retention battery, typically a button-style cell, or move a jumper on the system board; that jumper is often marked 'clear CMOS'.) If your PC uses switches or jumpers to set clock and multiplier values, you'll simply need to reset them to a slower speed.\n\nCPU Overclocking the Easy Way\nThe PC Setup program screen in Figure 1 is from an Abit KA7 motherboard that offers lots of overclocking controls when the CPU Operating Speed is set to 'User Define'. The CPU FSB/PCI Clock setting also affects the speed of the PCI bus. I have found that most PCI cards will overclock about as well as the average CPU does.\nOverclocking the AMD Athlon XP+ 2600 processor on my ECS KT-600A motherboard involves just one setting. The multiplier in the Athlon XP+ 2600 processor is fixed at 11.5, allowing a CPU speed range between 1910 MHz (166 x 11.5) and 2288 MHz (199 x11.5). The Athlon XP+ 2600 runs at 1900 MHz typically, but the chip I tested worked well when overclocked to 2200 MHz.\nCPU Overclocking by the Bits\nBefore designers made CPU speed settings changeable via software, switches or jumpers on the motherboard controlled the speed. You'll find this arrangement typical of early (3 to 4 years old or older) AMD, Pentium I and II, and Celeron boards. Over clocking with switches and jumpers works in the same way as using settings in PC Setup: You simply increment the multiplier and bus speed settings to speed up the processor until you find a reliable running speed.\nThe CPU clock speed setting also affects the AGP bus speed on this board. Other motherboards use DIP switches (Figure 4) for both the CPU clock speed and the multiplier settings.\nVideo Overclocking Made Easy\nMost of the overclocking buzz is not about turning a PC into a superco
