Trough a website you can only get their web browser type and version, screen resolution and version of windows. This can be done by tracking the statistics of visitors of your site. Try signing up with http://www.freestats.com/ or sitetracker.com. But I am pretty sure you cannot get processor speed, ram etc.
You can use the Shell object to find most of the System settings
The following example can be used to find the number of processors and OS of the machine.
function Show()
{
var obj = new ActiveXObject("wscript.she
var objSystem = obj.Environment("SYSTEM");
alert(objSystem("NUMBER_OF
objSystem = null;
obj = null;
}
For the complete list visit msdn!
http://msdn.microsoft.com/
do a view source on these pages

For finding out Client machine info you have to write code in the client side only!
The following html file is an example to find some of the computer info!
Test.htm
----------
<html>
<body>
<form name="MyForm">
<input type="button" value="show" onclick="javascript:Show()
</form>
</body>
<script language="javascript">
function Show()
{
var obj = new ActiveXObject("wscript.she
var objSystem = obj.Environment("SYSTEM");
alert(objSystem("NUMBER_OF
objSystem = null;
obj = null;
}
</script>
</html>
As i told earlier, you can refer the msdn page for complete list of computer information you can find using Shell object.

no, not unless it is a security bug (and then it will be fixed soon), or you must have some ActiveX or applet that does the job for you. And then it should ask the user if it is allowed to run.
