I know that a question has already been asked about generating a unique ID for a machine but my question is slightly different. I want to know whether there are any other methods (API calls?) to get hardware information and NOT use WMI. I understand from MSDN that WMI is introduced in Win2000 so it doesnt seem to be available in Win98. ...
I want to know the number of CPUs on the local machine in Python. The result should be user/real as output by time(1) when called with an optimally scaling userspace-only program. I'd be interested in any better ways to solve that problem. ...

Which system information are useful - especially when tracing an exception or other problems down - in a java application? I am thinking about details about exceptions, java/os information, memory/object consumptions, io information, environment/enchodings etc. ...
I have a C++ application that gets detailed system information (processor type, available disk space, other hardware profile info) on Windows using WMI. I want to perform the same type of operations on OSX 10.5+. What is the equivalent API or interface for MacOS? Links to API documentation or tutorials are very welcome. ...
Using e.g. the command line tool and creating a NSDictionary from the output of: system_profiler -xml SPDisplaysDataType it is possible to get to know the amount of video memory. The key spdisplays_vram contains e.g. the string "512 MB". However, on a graphic card with shared video memory only the identifier spdisplays_integrated_vram ...
