If you're really looking for a broad swath of information, I would encourage you to consider invoking system_profiler(8), and ioreg(8). The combination of these two will tell you far more than you ever wanted to know about your customers' systems. Oh yes, that would be far more than I'd ever want to know and possibly more than they'd care to send me. The model of the processor, the number of them, their speed, the version of the OS and the amount of RAM they have installed is about all I was really looking for. Plus, That's more time than I'd care to take on start up. I appreciate the suggestions though. I've been using Gestalt and figured I should maybe move to some newer interface.
