It doesn't matter, anything that old belongs in a skip.

several ways:

while your machine is booting up...
the bios message will probably display the cpu type

or if you are using windows...
just look in the control panel


(and of course you can always look inside)

Try

for a free program that will do this for you.

If you can look inside, the Pro is a very large socket. The P-II will most
likely be a slot.

Socket 8 - PentiumPro
Slot 1 - Pentium 2 or early P3
