Is there a way to use HTML 5 to access local system hardware details?

I'm looking specifically for attributes about CPU, RAM, Disk space, Video card information, Browsers available and plug-ins (with verson information).

Ultimately, I am trying to determine if I can build a tool to check a machine for hardware requirements to run software but do so without needing to actually install anything on the machine.

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

no it's not possible. the browser can't get these informations

the only way for CPU is if you make a benchmark, with a lot of data and the time you can guess the CPU
