Check what the serial number atop of the CPU tells you. Look for three numbers, 533, 600, 666, 733, 800, 866, 933, 1000 etc. those can tell you the speed of the processor.
Unless you wanna read me the entire serial nr 😛

My system: Intel Pentium 4 2.8, 800 FSB / TwinMOS 1Gb DDR400 / ASUS P4P800 / Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro / Antec True Power 550W / Western Digital Raptor / Hercules G.T XP /
Samsung DVD / Lite-On CDRW
 
Watch the boot up screen, your processor's speed will show up when you first boot up.
OR
right click on "my computer", and your processor's speed will be shown there
OR
run a benchmark program such as 3dmark 2001, 2003 or SiSoftware Sandra Standard. These will tell you alot more about your processor than just the speed.
 
heya scotty;

You can find out by reading the leading edge of the cartridge it will say something like this.

550/512/100

here is a makeshift key map for you.

550 - Mhz
512 - cache
100 - fsb

I hope this helps.
