Re: rdtsc vs. GetTickCount()

The following function (from the MM Challenge) does not compile in
Delphi 5.  Is it save to replace this with GetTickCount for
compatibility, or will that cause problems?

function GetCPUTicks: Int64;
asm
  rdtsc;
end;


My proposal is to change

rdtsc;

to

db $0F; db $31;	//rdtsc
