You won't be able to determine gfx card, ram, etc... in javascript. (except for the window size) You can find the browser and os in the user agent, see $.browser or this plugin : http://davecardwell.co.uk/javascript/jquery/plugins/jquery-browserdetect/ As for the CPU benchmark I had some old links in my bookmarks : The first one is in french. I think it's not accurate at all http://www.toutjavascript.com/main/script.php3?url=evalcpu And there was another called BenchJS but the link is down. Maybe you should google about this one. But keep in mind that theoretically, there's no such as thing as hardware detection in javascript browser's implementation.
