6MB shared L2 cache at full processor speed
1066MHz frontside bus
from http://www.apple.com/imac/specs/ but the ram is 800Mhz
1GB (one 1GB SO-DIMM) or 2GB (two 1GB SO-DIMMs) of 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 4GB

its highly likely that it is 1066. why? if you thinking about trying to overclock it then forget it, don't even mess with it

Go to the Apple menu and select About this Mac. If it isn't there click on the more info button or start up System Profiler.
