What do you mean by the 'level of the CPU'? If you mean 'wProcessorLevel', you'd use

SYSTEM_INFO si;

GetSystemInfo ( &si);

switch ( si.wProcessorLevel) {

case 3: // x386
break;
case 4: // x486
break;
case 5: // Pentium
break;
}

Thanks, jkr.

I found the SYSTEM_INFO from the MSDN, and know the code you provided will do the job. The problem I have is I don't know what to header information include to use SYSTEM_INFO. I searched the books and the internet, but just could not find any more information regarding this. Can you help me more?

Thanks,
