If I remember correctly, the Windows 98 CD contains a folder called "OLDMSDOS" that has MSD.EXE in it. MSD is the microsoft diagnostics, which should tell you your processor type and speed.
I misunderstood. I thought you wanted a way to see processor speed from within Windows.
You may be able to find your CPU speed in your CMOS setup program. However, in most instances you can see it on the screen when you first cold-boot your PC. If it appears and then disappears too quickly for you to read, you can press the "Pause/Break" key on your keyboard. then after reading the on-screen hardware summary just press ENTER to continue booting.
The only time I can recall where it didn't tell me what processor speed I had was back in the days when I was running something like DX6 on a 233mhz (all it said was I had an MMX). Something like that anyway....
