how can I use CPUID

[ecube]

How can I use cpuid in a normal 32bit exe (meaning no .model tiny)? I tried using it directly with .486,.586.,686 and it won't compile. i tried using db 0FA2h(cpuid in hex and db = emit in this case) but won't compile with that either says initalized magnitude 2 large.

E^cube,

db 0Fh, A2h

or

dd 0FA2h

Ahh great, thanks a lot PBrennick!  :thumbu

dd 0FA2h

Don't you mean " dw 0a20fh" ?
because " dd 0fa2h" becomes " db 0a2h,0fh,0,0"

E^cube,

     What assembler are you using?  I can get CPUID to assemble with MASM directly with no sweat. My first two lines are:

Code Select Expand

.686
.model flat,stdcall

sinsi,

works fine here..

Code Select Expand

.586
.model flat, stdcall
option casemap:none
.code
start:
    cpuid
end start
