acquiring hardware specification in C source code

[karim87]

Hi ;

Can anyone give me tips or sample codes to acquire hardware
specifications , as of Main board , CPU , Hard disk , etc. ?

or any other specifications specific to P.C. ?

Does it need special header or lib files ?

Many Thanks in advance .

Since you're asking this on the "C++ Microsoft" forum, I'm assuming you're using Windows?

There's a GetSystemInfo() function to get info about the CPU.

There's also a bunch of WMI classes to get all kinds of info:
