AutoIT: Detect Processor Speed

[RandomClown]

Is there a way to make AutoIT check the speed of the processor? [excluding the power saving feature]

I want it to edit a settings file & put in the speed.

thanks

I search my registry for process speed info. It is located in :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;this is 2GHz CPU

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0]

"~MHz"=dword:000007cf

(Not sure if this is a standard location or custom location. My OS is XP Sp3)

U can try using RegRead function

Hope that helps

not AutoIt but gives info to find processor info: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888282

$CPUSpeed = RegRead("HKLM\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0", "~MHz")
#include <File.au3>
; Create CPUSpeed.ini file
$IniFilePath = @ScriptDir & "\CPUSpeed.ini"
_FileCreate($IniFilePath)
; Write ini section
IniWriteSection($IniFilePath, "CPUSpeed", "")
; Write key and value
IniWrite($IniFilePath, "CPUSpeed", "MHz", $CPUSpeed)
