Have you tried system information?
What kind of PC do you have?
If it is a dell or other brand name it might be easier to get the service tag and check the model details online.
Otherwise you can use software like belarc advisor which will scan you hardware and give you a report.
If it is a windows machine you can probably run this command form a command line.

WMIC cpu get l2cachesize

This will return your L2 cache size. I dont see any options for L1 cache.
I suggest the tool cpu-z from http://www.cpuid.com/
