Is there a way to get the CPU speed (in Mhz) without using WMI? I need to
include this functionality in a program that have to work also in Windows 98
and I don't want to distributeWMI apart.

Hi,
It is in the registry
Dim myReg As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine
Dim MyRegKey As RegistryKey
Dim MyVal As String
MyRegKey =
myReg.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\SYSTEM\Cent ralProcessor\0")
MyVal = MyRegKey.GetValue("~Mhz")
MyRegKey.Close()
txtRegistry.Text = String.Format("CPU Speed {0}", MyVal)

It's exactly what I do now, but unfortunately that key is not always present
in Windows 98

you could calculate it, im not sure of the exact algoritm, but if you count
how many loops you can do in a certain period of time you can determin the
frequency of the clock in the system
like in one second, how many for loops can you do at CPU process usaged 100%
take that divide it out, figure out the number of processes that occured
then something else and that equals your speed in MHz.. there is some
documents on calculating MHz speeds on google if you search for it.

here is a small assembler snippit I used a few years ago. I don't know how to
compile it in VS, but it should be possible to compile this in C++ as a dll and then
call the dll from VB.NET.

..Model Flat ,StdCall

Extrn _wsprintfA : near
include w32.inc
..data

format db 'CPU Speed = %lu Mhz',0
buffer db 30 dup (0)
..code
main:
xor eax,eax
