well one way i've noticed is that you can tell from the dmesg command whether they are using sse/sse2 extensions. (i'm assuming that if the computer is powerpc that it probably doesn't have this :-))

so you could always read the output from dmesg, but i'm sure there's an even easier method than that, hopefully and object that you can access directly. have you tried looking at how cocoa handles hardware?

Hey all

I’ve setup my installer with everything I want except one thing. I want to
have it check to see if it’s an Intel Mac or not, so that the software won’t
be installed on PPC Macs.


I want this because I’ve setup an installer and all to install and load the
SpeedIt kernel extension for CPU temp reading. I’ve looked at Apple’s Front
Row update package and a few others to try and figure out how they made this
check, but I’m getting no where.


Is there a simpler way of checking?

Thanks

Matt
