CPU and Memory Information

[heintz.larry]

Hello All,

I am wondering if someone can point in the right direction of using
specific .net namespaces to be able to retrieve/enumerate information
of cpu/memory on a machine. I do know that you can use WMI calls to
get this information, but the WMI information is out of date for new
cpu's and memory type/speeds. The WMI calls will work on older
hardware via vbscript with no problem, but I need to use for new
hardware.

TIA

Look at "My.Computer.Info" for memory information. I don't know low-
level info can be provided for CPU under .NET natively, but
Performance Counter control may let you know CPU speed or look at this
for CPU speed using registry:

Hope this helps.
