How do you display processor type & speed?

A newbie to Linux. I know how to do this in Windows, but I cannot find in the man pages, Linux books, or web pages on how to display system configuration information like memory, CPU type & speed, hard disk size without rebooting and going into the bios. What command shows this information?

Thanks,
Scardog

memory:

"cat /proc/cpuinfo" will tell you CPU MHz, cache size, and CPU name, among other things.
