    Besides grabbing the information from the registry, is there a simple winapi method I can invoke to get the cpu speed.

    Re: WINAPI to get cpu speed?

    There isn't a Windows function you can just call to my knowledge, but this should help:
    CPU Speed
    You use a high resolution counter to count some cycles, I read this same way in a book, I think it was "Game Coding Complete" but not sure.

    Rate me if I've helped.

    You could imagine that you're the 256 000th to ask that. for decades
    Then it's of course a Win32 FAQ for 18 years (news://comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32)
    cpuid, WMI, etc...
