In summary, to find out the CPU speed of a Pentium 4 on Fedora Core 3, you can use the <code>cat /proc/cpuinfo</code> command in the terminal or the system monitor. Other commands such as <code>lscpu</code> can also be used. Alternatively, the <code>Hardinfo</code> application provides a graphical interface to check the CPU speed. Overclocking is not recommended, but it can be done using third-party tools such as <code>cpupower</code> or <code>cpufreq</code> with caution.

I need to know the processor (CPU) my linux box at school is running. I cannot find (after a couple google searches) a command. The sticker on the outside says Pentium 4 but I need the speed of it also. Does anyone know of a way for me to find this out in Fedora Core 3?
Thanks,
Ryan

And if you can tell me how to find the amount of RAM it has also, that would be great.
Thanks,
