Check your Device Manager? :) Good place to start: Intel or AMD?

Tried the Device Manager, and it's not there. When I looked up the processor, it doesn't even give me a version type. That's why I'm here. It's an Intel processor, that's all I know. ANd I tried finding it under bios, but all I get is that it's AGP.
The only other thing I can tell you is that when I openned the computer up, the slot for the video card was green. Don't know if that helps or not. But called Dell and they had no idea what I was talking about.
