Additional Property Remarks
CSDNumber
On Windows NT and Windows 2000, the return value contains a string such as "Service Pack 3" that indicates the latest Service Pack installed on the system. If no Service Pack has been installed, the string is empty
PlatformID
The possible return values are:
| Value | Platform |
|---|---|
| 1 | Windows 95/98 |
| 2 | Windows NT/2000 |
| 3 | Windows CE |
If the return value is 1 (Windows 95/98), use the MinorVersion property name to determine if the OS is Windows 95 or Windows 98. For Windows 95, MinorVersion is 0. For Windows 98, MinorVersion is > 0.
ProcessorArchitecture
The possible return values are:
| Value | Architecture |
|---|---|
| 0 | Intel |
| 1 | MIPS |
| 4 | SHx |
| 5 | ARM |
| 0xFFFF | Unknown |
ProcessorLevel, ProcessorRevision
Consult the Windows API SYSTEM_INFO for possible return values.
ProcessorType
The possible return values are:
| Value | Processor |
|---|---|
| 486 | Intel 486 |
| 586 | Intel Pentium |
| 3000 | MIPS R3000 |
| 4000 | MIPS R4000 |

| 10004 | Hitachi SH4 |
| 2577 | StrongARM |
