Perhaps I'm late here but why not simple use the following command
via
shell class:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType|grep "CPU Type"
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (2.2)
Not sure what's the reply on an Intel Mac but I don't think it is
G5...
May be an over simplification, but this ALWAYS works here (and it
works on Linux too):
Dim shUname As New Shell
Dim MyPlatform As String
shUname.Execute "uname -p"
If shUname.ErrorCode <> 0 Then
// Handle Error - is uname corrupt???
Else
MyPlatform = shUname.Result
End If
MyPlatform will either be "i386" or "powerpc".
HTH,
Tim
