Develop hardware ActiveX control for website?

Not sure where to post about this, but...

Is it possible to do hardware detection on a webpage?

Basically I need to determine OS type, CPU speed, memory size and free drive
space on C: using a web page.

Using the Windows API I can do most of this and build an OCX, but it only
works on the machine I've compiled on and not elsewhere. Also, I cannot find
any way to determine CPU speed on Windows 98 based PC's.

I admit that I'm a newbie at this kind of thing and I'm not sure which
direction to go...

Can someone provide some pointers or examples please?

FWIW, it should be cross browser compatible but I'll settle for any examples
at this point.
