subject: pentium counter register

I am trying to time a piece of assembly code; supposed the Intel Pentium
has a register which counts clock ticks. I figured this would be the
easiest accessable counter with a high enough resolution for my purpose,
but: I don't know how to access this register.

Does anybody know how to do this?

And do any other CPUs (80486, PPRO, Cyrix, AMD, etc) have a register like this?
