Q:  How do I detect for a co-processor?
Q:  How can I tell which CPU is being used?

A:  Here is the short version.  The problem here is that it doesn't detect the pentium.

var winFlags: LongInt;
begin
  winFlags := GetWinFlags;
  { Get math coprocessor status }
  If winFlags And WF_80x87 > 0 Then Caption := 'Present'
  Else Caption := 'Not Present';

  { Get CPU type }
  If winFlags And WF_CPU486 > 0 Then edit1.text := '486' {also pentium}
  else If winFlags And WF_CPU386 > 0 Then edit1.text := '386'
  else If winFlags And WF_CPU286 > 0 Then edit1.text := '286';
end;
 

Here is a version that will work with the pentium:
