I have a P3 CPU I pulled from a Dell mobo that was dead. Is there anyway I can find the speed by looking at the processor itself?

Thank you. The is a bunch of writing on it, so it should be simple. Thanx again

If It's a P3 there should be the label gtjr was talking about, then there is a 2nd label that should say "Intel '(2 digit year) (country of manufacture). Then below that should read something like 1000/256/133/1.75V Meaning it is a 1GHz/256KB cache/133MHz fsb/ 1.75 voltage.

Otherwise, you could just plug it into a mobo and let it auto-detect.

But hey, I'm just lazy like that...

Found it... 866/256/133/1.75v Thanks...that's pretty SLOW huh?! Now all I need to do is find a mobo and RAM to go with it :(

Still close to the fastest P3....... and not far from the first Pentium 4's (1.4GHz, etc)
