midnite Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 excuse me, how can i know my CPU Front Side Bus Speed if my CPU is already not on the list of the vendor's hit items? For instant, my notebook is a P4 M with 2.00GHz, family 15, model 2, stepping 7 (i don't know all these yet i hope they help). i can't find any matches in the site of Intel. And one more, my old old desktop having a AMD K6 3D processor, 64 KB Cache, CPU family 5, model 8, and running Gentoo Linux.For the RAM, i can't find any label (physically) on some of my RAM. How can i know their speed?i did try to find those speed, of CPU FSB and RAM, in the BIOS while boot, yet i failed as there is no such information in it.And more, on some computers' BIOS, there shows the CPU temperature, yet i can't find any in the OS (both Windows and Linux) :)Anyone can provide Windows' or Linux's method will be fine. Both, is the best of course :)Thanks very very much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 are both computers running Linux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnite Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 no, Windows XP is on my notebook. If one (Windows or Linux) is better, that's fine. Because i will try different OS on both computers soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 you can check the amount of ram on windows by right clicking My Computer and choosing properties. Of course you still would need to know how many sticks of ram are in the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnite Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 oh.. i am sorry to be vague. What i wanna focus is the speed in term of system bus in the unit of MHz .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 When it displays all of the POST information during boot, you can pause that by hitting the Pause/Break key until you're finished reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
