CPU library is now rel2rev29. Fixed EM64T capability detection, added NX (or DEP, or whatever acronym you prefer) and DAZ detection for Intel processors. The capability strings are now resource strings for easier localization (if you wanted some; I probably will not provide ones).
Tried to fix some reported problem with makefiles, but could not find the cause since it works fine here. Simply compile the units manually if you experience problems.

Guess what? I had to fix the CPU library again, now at rel2rev28. One typo of mine, and something related to brand strings.

Fixes, fixes, fixes again for the CPU library, leveling it to rel2rev27. There were some compatibility issues with the 1.0.10 compiler (*), a mistake where I mixed up some capabilities, and the MMX unit should now be compatible to the RTL MMX unit again. Thanks go to Ralph Roth once again.
Additionally there is a very small new example program called "timeit" which times the execution of the command given in the parameters. It is FPC only.
(*) These patches for 1.0.10 probably won't make it into a rel3; before you ask, there's no date for it yet except the usual "when I think it is appropriate".

I updated my CPU library to rel2rev26. The only difference to rel2rev25 is that I updated the mail addresses in the file headers and checked it with 1.9.6 GO32V2/Win32/Linux targets (which worked as expected). Thanks go to Lee John again for reporting that issue.
Btw, the date in the files is from yesterday, that's fine, there were some webhoster problems.
Happy new year btw.

The CPU library has been updated to rel2rev24. Due to lack of test machines (and compatibility problems between some compiler versions) it only officially supports FPC 1.9.2+ (Win32 and *nix) and Delphi7+ (Win32; including Delphi 9) for now. The code is still there, but I simply don't have the time to check them myselves - sorry.
Side note about the DirectX units: there's no need anymore to use them with new FPC compiler versions, since the Delphi header translations for example from Clootie compile fine (even the DirectShow ones with slight adjustements).

CPU detection and timing unit for x86 processors. It is able to detect most of your host processors' capabilities and characteristics.
Includes features like support for the different new instruction sets, special instructions, processor specific features, clock speed and rating, vendor, type and version information, serial number and the like.
Includes a platform independent microsecond timer.
It is completely compatible to the original CPU and MMX units provided by the free pascal compiler.
Includes the BASETYPE unit which is required for most other packages on this site.
