   system info
  Hey guys,I was wondering if there was a simple way to find out cpu type and things about the computer using c++. I am looking multiplatform example if they exist and if they dont then it fine if it relate to only os.[edited]I googled this and could kind any tutorials... i read a book once that talked about doing this but it was with asm.   
  This is about Windows: GetSystemInfo ()The related structures and functions you can easily find on MSDN: SYSTEM_INFO, GetSystemMetrics ()I would suggest using system dependent functions, that will save you a lot of time and headaches.Good luck.   ;Quote:Original post by owileyI was wondering if there was a simple way to find out cpu type and things about the computer using c++.

The file /proc/cpuinfo will tell you about the cpu - there's also lots of info in that dir. Unfortunately it's not a multiplatform solution.
