- 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
