Can anyone remember how to determine the speed of the CPU with ME? I have tried “Control Panel” and “Systems” and it will give me RAM but not processor. ---

Right-click “My Computer” and then “Properties” I think. ---

Thanks. It comes up with the same thing from Control Panel- it says it has a Celeron chip but no details. ---

I believe the belarc diagnsotic utility will run on an me machine. see [www.belarc.com](http://www.belarc.com) If it’s a PC from a major manuf the specific model # will often let you get info on the hardware setup via the web. ---

I did as Palooka suggested and it comes up with Celeron `500 Mhz. Thanks (As explanation it is an old computer. One of my “main” ones has crashed and I need a replacement for someone to play a few games on.) ---
