On the boot screen detect after the memory count it will show it by IDE position with maker, model and speed rating. In the config table on boot page number 2 it should also be documented. Control panel system file manager should record the speed and if you right click and open my computer it should be on that page as well.

In those positions that i pointed out it should also show you the cdrom speed. The 1st place to try and find it is on the boot page about 3 lines below the ram count. It will detect on either primary master or slave or secondary master or slave and when it detects it should also give the speed rating.
