How do I make a component to get CPU information?

by  djjd47130  Posted    (Edited  )
This component, first of all, has not been tested 100%. In other words, the source code which I originally found is using ASM code, and I cannot only take credit for it, but I also can't even comprehend it.

Otherwise, the original code I found was only displaying the CPU information in the form of an image (go figure). So I wrapped the functionality into a component and make the info available through the component's properties. The info can be visible in Delphi's object inspector. The property setting procedures do not actually set the properties - it's a trick to show the info but not allow any changes. (I believe later versions of delphi allow publishing read-only properties, unlike my D7)

Code:
unit JDCPUInfo;

  Classes, Windows, SysUtils, StrUtils;

  TJDCPUInfo = class(TComponent)
