Download a little program called CPU-Z from this site. It'll give a full read out of everything
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
Get the .zip file as you won't need to install anything

Reading what's written on the cpu itself is quite hard it seems.

press windows key+pause or computer->properties

Another alternative is you could go into your BIOS and see if it lets you change the multiplier

Lots of different ways to tell.

Since people are throwing in their two cents, Maybe i can toss in a penny too...

You could check out a program called Speccy if CPU-Z is to complicated for yah

Or even the old boy! Everest Home Edition

Intel Processor Identification Utility

Since we're all adding methods.

I'm going to go with the 'if you aren't sure then you've got the non-K version of the chip' method.

Not exactly scientific, but I'd be almost certainly right.
