cat /proc/cpuinfo
And for windows, you can read the registry at HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\...
Or use WMI.

what information are you lookign for? there are several API command sin windows to return infoz aboutthe hardware.
This is on windows.
I don't want to read reg (it's unreliable).
And these APIs are never in-depth enough.
I'll repeat abachler's question: what information are you interested in?
never mind, I figured out how to get inline asm to access c++ vars. thanks anyway
It would still be useful to know what information you were actually after, because there may be better ways to solve the problem - particularly as inline assembler is not supported for x64.Quote:

So basicly, I now have a function that sets a string defining the processor name
