Ok so I have this old NEC Versa 2000c laptop computer running windows 95. I want to know the CPU or processor speed of this old computer. I know it have a pentium chip, becasue it has a intel inside sticker on it. If i enter the bios it only gives me the amount of ram i have which is 8 mb. Is there a way to find out using windows 95. When I right click my computer and hit properties It only gives me the RAM. Unlike in windows xp it gives me the CPu speed. This system has only 514mb Hdd and originaly booted win 3.1. It was updated before I got it. It still has all the original utilites installed. Any help is accepted.

Try Start - Run - Dxdiag Or download CPU-Z Why don't you just type "Windows 95 CPU speed" into Google? Please tell me. I really am curious. Anyhow, now you know the cpu speed, why do you need to do this?

dxdiag only worked with my windows 98 PC and if I download CPU-z , the file can't be more than 1.40 MB for the laptop doesn't even has a cd rom only 3.5 inch floppy. Are u sure theres no other way to do this?

no for the printer I have 2 cables which have the same ends that plug to two computers  so it will work if you show me how to connect them.

The parallel cable which is required is sometimes called a "null-printer" cable. It is also often called a "Laplink cable".  Table of connections and note about possible cable change for Windows 95 Direct Connection here http://www.nullmodem.com/LapLink.htmBelkin ones cost about 12 US dollars. You need: 1. a parallel port on each computer 2. Communications software on each computer. Windows prior to Vista should have this built in I believe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_cable_connectionhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/305621
