CPU frequency counter

[JakeIsBoss]

There's one simple thins I wanted to do. I wanted to make a function that gets the actual frequency of a processor. I know how to use QueryPerformanceFrequency, I have used it many times, but all it does is read from the registry. The problem is, I don't know how to account for overclocking and such. Any suggestions?
