Title: SMBIOS info
Post by: Pelle on June 18, 2026, 10:21:11 PM
Nothing fancy, just a program I wrote last year to dump info about my BIOS settings (to the console).
Incomplete in many ways. Maybe useful to someone...?

Thanks. Maybe it can lead to something more, some day.

Thanks Pelle,

Very informative.  I had no idea that 5GigHz was the max turbo speed of my 'travel laptop'. 
Windows only reports the leisurely 1.7GHz.

A very tiny, partial sample, of one of the output sections of the program to spark interest.
