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

Then it's of course a Win32 FAQ for 18 years (news://comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32)
cpuid, WMI, etc...
