Is there any other way of collection system information like - OS version - processor speed and architecture - RAM other than calling system_profiler -xml > system.plist
This was just asked a few days ago on the darwin-userlevel mailing list; search the archives for details. That poster wanted more info than you list here, but the answer was that it would be more trouble than it's worth to collect it manually. In particular it was stated that determining the user-visible name of the processor would require making your own lookup table, since those names are based more on marketing than on explicit ID numbers.
Note that you don't have to make system_profiler write to a file. You can call it with NSTask, attach an NSPipe to its stdout, and read that with an NSFileHandle.
