CPU Speed Code

[Howard7890]

Hi All,

Does any one have, or know where I can get VB code to calculate the actual speed of a CPU.

I have been looking all over the place and have not found code that does this.

There are API calls to get all other information but not CPU speed.
What I am looking for is code that calculates the speed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

www.karenware.com has source to a program that, among other things, will give you lots of info on the cpu.

don't listen to the arby's hater! Write your own benchmarking utility or connect directly to the bois to get the clock speed.

Yes, I agree. Do not listen to he who hates Arby's. Write your own, it ain't rocket science.

How????

By the way, I think numtel meant BIOS, not BOIS.

The program bbosh (The "Arby's Hater") referred to doesn't tell the actual speed of the cpu.

That's a better reason than that he doesn't like arby's..

I took the time to put togeteher a little dll for you to use. I include all the source code in c++ plus the original file which came from AMD. I tested it and it works. Just move the dll in Release directory to your system directory and use it as follow:

In a module add this statement:

Public Declare Function GetCpuSpeed Lib "cpuspeed.dll" () As Long

Use:

Dim lCpuSpeed as Long

lCpuSpeed = GetCpuSpeed

MsgBox lCpuSpeed

Enjoy!
