Is there anyway, other than removing the memory,to tell what speed the memory is in a machine running XP pro?

Reboot and read the BIOS display.

Thanks Rich, that's what I thought too. When it is booting, I press esc and it takes me into the bios but there is nothing there that addresses this issue. I have gone into all the menus and nothing talks about what speed the memory is.

You CANNOT tell what speed your memory is running by taking it out and looking at it, memory speed is set by BIOS, not the RAM itself.
