10.1.5--how can i determine processor speed

[kevinuaa]

Hi,
my gf's ibook 14 inch is running 10.1.5. How can I determine the processor speed? i want to buy her some ram--she's only got 256MB :<

thanks for tips!

from the apple menu in the top left, choose "about this mac"...

easy as pie...
and i recommend crucial.com like many others...

I'd suggest investing in OS X 10.3 Panther along with the RAM. 10.3 will have a noticeable increase in speed compared to 10.1.5. It's only $69 through the education store.

FWIW, I've had great luck with crucial.com as well.

i know you can do that in panther, but on 10.1.5, it just shows that it's a power pc g3, doesn't give the speed.
Thanks for any tips.

Duff-Man says...if you look in your utilities folder in your applications folder, you'll have something called Apple System Profiler (or System Profiler) - launch it and look through the info in the Hardware Overview section - it will tell you all you need to know....oh yeah!

duffman, thanks.
i was looking for it but i thought it was called system proflier, not apple s.p.
thanks again!

Duff-Man says...glad to help....I guess it is a bit confusing sometimes when Apple changes the names on their utilities...took a while for people to get used to "Disk Utility" when 10.3 came out too....oh yeah!
