You'd have to PInvoke unmanaged code that calls the CPUID instruction.

You might also find some info with the registry API underneath:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor

I don't have a very deep unerstanding on how to use the system.management
namespace. I tried doing what you did albeit without success.

could you supply an example code snippet?

thanks very much!
