There are lots of reasons why you might want to find out the speeds of your computer. Maybe you just got a new computer, and want to check the components. Perhaps you're want a new game or program, but you're not sure if your computer meets the minimum system requirements.
Many programs run comprehensive speed tests on your computer's processor, RAM, graphics card and everything else, but the amount of detail they produce can be daunting. Most casual users prefer to just take the speed reading that the computer itself gives when it is booting up -- it will be a reading in Mhz.
You might be able to spot it each time you boot up your computer, and you can use the 'Pause/Break' key on your keyboard to read it if it goes by too fast to read. You might also need to press Tab or F2 before it will appear. Unfortunately, every PC is different.
If you have no luck finding a speed reading when you're booting up the computer, try right-clicking the My Computer icon in Windows and choosing Properties. Many computer manufacturers will put speed information there, also.
