This program identifies the system processor and runs several mathematical operations in an attempt to "guess" the CPU speed using a simple algorithm. The operation only works with a compiled project, since the interpreted VB code is not fast enough to be accurate, so be sure to run tests only after compiling the code. Also displays other system information, such as free memory. Please note that I have not updated the processor ID table, so that any processor above PII will not be identified correctly. You can easily add your particular processor to the table by viewing the CPUID and adding another case statement.
Since this is an old program, it is not as comprehensive as my full-blown system library. To get an accurate, up-to-date CPU identification, including AMD and PIII chips, check out my CSystem class and support files.
