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,
