Thanks.  I followed your instructions and here's what I got:

AMD Athlon(tm) Processor, MMX, 3DNow, 1000MHz

It still didn't give the info desired.  It's not the end of the world, however,
since I DO know how to remove the cover on the computer.  I had to do that to
install the RAM.

Incidentally, following your instructions had a strange effect:  My desktop
changed to add a one-inch-wide purple boarder around the periphery of the
screen.  I hope that does not mean the Direct-X has a virus in it!
