Getting CPU speed from windows registry... 2

[XPPROGRAMMER]

Hello everyone,

can you please tell me how to locate the speed of the CPU
in windows registry keys? Hope you can provide it for
windows 2000 pro and windows XP pro.
thanks for the help.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0
"ProcessorNameString"=

Cheers!

I always wondered about that. Many thanks.

BUT is there a way to get this without using the registry? Many people do not know (and indeed should not know) about it's existance.

xp has "systeminfo" from the command line

j0ckser,

Running "dxdiag" displays the processor details on the 'System' tab.

Another alternative is to run this 3-line script (.vbs) by double-click.

for each ocpu in getobject("winmgmts:root\cimv2").instancesof("win32_processor")
	wscript.echo "Current clock speed : " & ocpu.currentclockspeed & " Mhz"
next
