Any Windows 98, Me Users Out There?

[color=\"black\"]Hello people,

If you don\'t know I\'m currently programming a chat client called \"Gemini\". I ran into freezing trouble when the client would receive large room lists from large servers like DalNet, EFNet, QuakeNet etc. However, I solved this problem using IPC (ie. a seperate .exe to slow the data down to a workable speed). I then optimized the speed so that it worked as fast as it could given my processor speed (797 Mhz). This brings me to my current problem; I can\'t expect every user to have the same processor speed as me. So I\'ve made the program perform the following:
1) Get users processor speed
2) Adjust the data rate accordingly

My problem lies in #1 (Get users processor speed). I\'m not sure if the method that I\'m using to get the users processor speed will work on all versions of windows.

So if you have any other version of Windows besides XP:I need YOUR help!

I made a simple program that performs the single function of retrieving a users processor speed. If you could download this program and run it and tell me:
1) What version of Windows you are using
2) If the program successfully told you your processor speed

I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank-you endophyte <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> .... my apologies for taking so long to respond to this (I\'ve been so busy with construction work that there was actually dust on my keyboard when I turned on my computer today).
Your help has been extremely useful, as now I know that this method of determining CPU speed will not work on WIN 98, ME ...etc.

Thanks again! <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
