When this FingerPrint option flag is set, the host machine is queried for its architecture type. This value is physically stored in hardware and cannot be changed in software.

Typical Internal Values

There are five possible internal values which will be returned by the machine. Most machines on the market today are x86 architecture. Note this is not the processor type but rather the fundamental architecture itself.

• "x86 Processor Architecture"

• "MIPS Processor Architecture"

• "DEC ALPHA Processor Architecture"

• "PPC Processor Architecture"

• "Unknown Processor Architecture"

Operating System and Security

This flag will be able to successfully query the machines architecture on all versions of Windows. No special user permissions are required.
