Determine RAM using Web Application...

I need to know if there is a way to determine the amount of RAM that a
person has on their workstation from a web application. We are using
BrowserHawk to mine HTTP information but I also need to know amount of RAM.
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

I don't believe so, as it's not something comes which across in the request
headers, as you already know...

If this is a closed intranet and all the clients use IE, then you could
write an ActiveX control which used WMI to determine this. Piece of cake in
itself, but you'd have to seriously ramp down your security to get it to
work...

If it's on the public Internet, though, I'd say you have virtually no chance
at all...

It is for a business requirement to determine the right level of software to
ship to our customers. I think this is going to be a can of worms as I
cannot be ascertain of the platform, OS or Browser being used in the initial
transaction.

Thanks for the reply. I may just have to recommend that we ask them for
this info.

Hello rmorvay,

As alternative solution, you can suggest to download the simple app, which
being run on the client machine collect all desired info and send it to u
