Reading the processor serial number

Dear VB users,

Is it possible to read the processor serial number?

If yes, can you give the source.

Nice reards,

Michelle.

Because of the simple reason that processors do not have a serial number, you can not read it. (Beside the one printed on it).

Erm.....PIII = serial number = lots of 'big brother' stylee bad press!

I apologise for not answering your question Michelle.

I think if it could be read by the system or a website, would it be some sort of API?

Does the Athlon have PSN as well?

Sunny

Well I have only PII :)


And for what I know you can't read that value unless done so from the BIOS or some manufacture-delivered software which works explicit for that type of system.

So just reading a PSN is hard enough without running a bunch of little dos programs and reading their output, also, if you'd wun a unix system it'd be easy as hell, but most of us are "microshit-os"-users and can't do nothing about it but accept it and think it's good.

Thanks all for your information.

Michelle.
