Has anyone been abl

Answer 1

You can get some system-level information by using System.getenv(), passing the relevant environment variable name as a parameter. For example, on Windows:

System.getenv("PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER")
System.getenv("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE")
System.getenv("PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432")
System.getenv("NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS")

For other operating systems the presence/absence and names of the relevant environment variables will differ.
