I need to retrieve CPU's serial numbers. When using WMI, it is called CPUID. My goal is to access that information WITHOUT using WMI.

Unmanaged is code is fine

I really need some sample code and preferably .NET implementation

Why did you tag C++ if you want to use VB.net or C#? – Fred Nurk Feb 16 '11 at 00:08 — Fred Nurk, Feb 16 '11 at 00:08

You can get a CPU's CPUID with the __cpuid() function from <intrin.h>. Is that what you're trying to do?

do you have sample code? And possibly .NET implementation? That's what I am looking for – Chicago Feb 16 '11 at 00:04
