Open Firmware Memory bus speed

Q: Using Open Firmware, how can I tell the memory bus speed on a G3 or G4 Macintosh?

A: On any Macintosh, navigate to the memory bus and dump its properties. Display the clock-frequency property in decimal since the default display is hexadecimal. Here is the code to do this:
