I am attempting to write a system information program much like a
Norton SI.  I am only interested in the system configuration section
of programs like SI or Checkit.  More specifically, what I want to
know is how to write code (in C of course) that will determine
CPU/FPU type and CPU speed, bus speed also if possible.  I can do
everything else (ports, drives, disk space, etc.) but I can't find
any info on CPU identification or speed determination.

Please help!

If you know of a reference (title, publisher, etc.) that discusses
system configuration programs for the PC, that would be great.
Source code would even be better.  Both might justify payment!

Thanks in advance
John Wickham
