I don't really like to feature programs that have an archaic interface, but a good majority of the more useful programs out there don't have stylish, web 2.0-ish user interfaces. While the interface for CPUZ may not look very attractive, it does have a place in the tech's toolbox.

With CPUZ you can find out all the information regarding the processor, it's bus speed, core speed, manufacturer, cache, etc. Additionally, and this is what I mainly use it for, you can see how much RAM a computer has as well as the number of slots currently being used and how many are empty and available for upgrade. Oddly enough this specific information is not on the Memory tab, but rather on the SPD tab (which stands for "Serial Presence Detect").

If you're looking to upgrade your memory, Newegg has some really great prices. If your uncomfortable picking the correct type, you can use Crucial's System Scanner to pick the right kind or just use it to figure out the specific type and options you have for upgrading.
