Motherboard information and other low level stuff can noet be accessed through VB. You will need a C++ or ASM DLL to call from VB to access those stuff. To get Number of processors type of processor you can use this

Public Declare Sub GetSystemInfo Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemInfo As SYSTEM_INFO)
Public Type SYSTEM_INFO
        dwOemID As Long
        dwPageSize As Long
        lpMinimumApplicationAddress As Long
        lpMaximumApplicationAddress As Long
        dwActiveProcessorMask As Long
        dwNumberOrfProcessors As Long
        dwProcessorType As Long
        dwAllocationGranularity As Long
        dwReserved As Long
End Type
Public si As SYSTEM_INFO

GetSystemInfo si
Debug.Print = si.dwProcessorType
'use other properties to access other stuff

If that code is to go in a Form, replace Public with Private.
