NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: I'm posting this for a friend. DO NOT REPLY TO ME! Send all responses to csc1jaw@cabell.vcu.edu 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
