How do I determine the specs on my motherboard?

ok, i should know this, but I wanna see how fast a P4 chip I can use in my computer, and the folks I talked to about this said they could tell me allsorts of stuff if I could just tell them what kind I had in my HP pavillion. I know its something simple, but I can't think of what it is

to see what processor you have

start-settings-control panel -system-hardware-devicemanager

click + on processor then right

Here is a handy program that I have used from time to time. It will list all of the components in your system and has some other tools that can be usefull. And it's free!

Hey thanx guys. I know what i got there model and prcesr wise (P4 3.-6 gighz or whatever you call it), but I wanna see if I can upgrade it as much as I can. THe paper work on these HP computers (which are all made for office work, hence the PCI only slots)is kinda sparce and generic for all of them. I can find it now.
