How do I get the PC's Processor speed?

I'm not sure whether it is *this* information, but you can use
NtQuerySystemInformation, with a class parameter of
SystemProcessorPowerInformation, and passing
SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION as the buffer. That gives,
among others, a value CurrentFrequency (along with LastBusyFrequency,
LastC3Frequency, and ThermalLimitFrequency).

This usage of NtQuerySystemInformation is undocumented.
