"Is there a way to write a CF page so that when a user visits that page, my database gets updated with things like processor speed, operating system, amount of RAM, computer name, IPAddress etc? I know that things like IP Address are easy to get, but the other items such as processor speed and ram would be great to have."
Don't get confused with where CF pages run - CF pages run at the ColdFusion server so it does not have access to anything on the client machine. You'd need to use something technology (perhaps JS?) to grab the info you require, jb.
