    Find CPU Speed

    I have just been given a PII or PIII (not sure what it is) but I'm not sure of the speed. Is there anyway to tell and my motherboard needs the jumpers setting to the correct speed?

    Can't you just chuck it in on the lowest.. setting or whatever, and find out what it is, then change the jumpers accordiingly?

    Yeah I did wonder about that. Can I set it to a 233? Is it OK to go that low or will ot not work or damage it or something? Sorry if I'm being stupid here, just don't want to waste the chip

    You have no idea how hilarious DM & Penfold are/were to us non-Brits.

    It isn't televised over here anymore. Sigh.

    Not even much over here either, I'm afraid. I think some of the satellite channels carry it (Cartoon Network, maybe?) but not seen it on terrestrial for a looooooong time.

    Yeah it's still on Cartoon Network here late at night, not that I watch it or anything - I'm way too mature for that

    Oh yeah didn't think of that. But does that only tell you the current speed of the CPU, not what it's supposed to be at?
