Does .Net have any classes to communicate directly with the hardware? (i.e.:
writing directly to I/O addresses)

Thanks,
Norvin
 
Norvin,

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but have you
considered the WMI classes (the classes in the System.Management namespace).
You should be able to access most hardware statistics through there.

Hope this helps.

No, modern OSses like Windows don't even allow you to access the HW from user space, this is a privilege held by device drivers
only.
Writing device drivers is reserved for native code only (C/C++, Assembly languages).
