Identify the CPU and look it up on a chart at www.intel.com or www.amd.com.
In most Windows operating systems, it's pretty easy to find out what your CPU is. In Vista or Windows 7, right click on Computer, then click Properties. In XP, look it up in the device manager.
Also old fashioned way is to remove your heat sink clean off the thermal strip or paste you should see identifying markers that you can also use to identify your processor and help get the specs you need. Just go to the manufacturers website and plug in the number.
I know you mentioned not down loading anything but I have to concur CPU-Z is a small light weight program it will ID your processor with great details cache, voltage, etc. You can even get your RAM information as well.
