Games: Beginner 2
In this one we need to use WMI to get some information about the Processor in our machine. Main difficulty is finding which class. In PowerShell v2 I can get away with this
Get-WmiObject -List "*processor*"
whereas in v1 I need to use
Get-WmiObject -List | where{$_.Name -like "*processor*"}
In either case the Win32_Processor class looks to be the best choice. This leads to

| $machine = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor
"Speed"
$machine | Format-List MaxClockSpeed, L2CacheSize, L2CacheSpeed, L3CacheSize, L3CacheSpeed
"Strength"
$machine | Format-List NumberOfCores, NumberOfLogicalProcessors
"Agility"
$machine | Format-List AddressWidth |
Get the WMI information once and then select the bits we want to meet the criteria
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor | Get-Member
will give a full list of the properties.
If you want to colour the output use write-host and pick off the properties individually
