So, this summer my dad, who works at a Highschool as the Head Tech Coordinator, has around 150-200 computers that he needs formatted... His problem is that he doesnt want to have to pull information from each computer concerning the stats, write them down and then determine whether to keep it or not... So, I tried working on a little application that will basically collect minimal system information (specific information that he needs) concerning the hardware inside the computers... After the program collects the information, I would like it to Rate the system for me based on how new the CPU is (a.k.a using the wProcessorRevision property)... This "rating" system is still to be determined and not completely accurate... This has given my dad a headache so far and I wanna try to get this done for him as a "half-suprise..." (He's a nerd and he'll love this gift)...
My results:
I wrote some coding to see if I could do this myself... Here it is:
The problem:
-I tried using this on an Intel Pentium III and it wouldn't detect the wProcessorLevel... so the label displays "Intel" only... Doesn't make sense to me... I tried using it on several different computers and the only one that I had luck with was an Intel Pentium 4...
If you don't have time to check this out, thanks for at least reading this... I am looking up stuff right now on the internet but the only problem is that I dont actually understand what needs to be fixed here... I am thinking that something is wrong with the output... not sure tho.. Any Ideas?
