Use WMI - installed with Me,2K,XP, can be added to others.

Set cpus = GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("Win32_Processor")
    For Each cpu In cpus
        MsgBox cpu.MaxClockSpeed
    Next

You can get all sorts of hardware and software info with this. It's really cool.

WMI does work easily - but we had problems with it on some Win9X systems. So I had to work around it.
