You could scour the Web for the information, but good as the iPhone's Web browser is, it can still be pretty time consuming to track down a certain tidbit. Frankly, you could probably download and install Ian Page's free Mactracker (iTunes link) in less time."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1240457039.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>Want to know the processor speed of that old IIe you have lying around? Save yourself some time and download the free <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=311421597&mt=8" target="_blank">MacTracker</a> from the iTunes App Store. Not only will it tell you that, but it will also tell you initial price, system specs and many other items that will serve you well should you get into a trivia contest about Apple. I kid. But it is interesting to look up not only computers but some of the peripherals such as the Newton and see everything you wanted to know about them right on your iPhone/iPod Touch screen. If you want it on a bigger screen there is a desk top version available at the <a href="http://www.mactracker.ca/" target="_blank">MacTracker</a> site. </p>
