(Sorry to answer here instead of on the page, but i'm not 100% sure of the answers.

Not sure it had a clock. A lot of early DEC machines used asyncronous logic. I think that includes the PDP-1. Speed was probably of the order of 100 thousand instructions per second.

Probably no external storage medium was bundled with the thing, because it was aimed at OEMs and others who would build their own system.)

(Circa 1960)

* How much did it cost?

(Circa US$100,000 . For a computer in those days, that was a bargain.)
