System information on Windows?

[Roger Upole]

If you don't mind installing WMI (a free download from Microsoft)
on all the machines in question, you can do things like this:

import win32com.client
wmi = win32com.client.Dispatch('wbemscripting.swbemlocator')
rmt_mach = wmi.ConnectServer('machine name')
cpus = rmt_mach.InstancesOf('Win32_Processor')
for cpu in cpus:
    print cpu.Name, cpu.CurrentClockSpeed, cpu.Description, cpu.L2CacheSize

For my machine, this returns
    Intel Pentium III processor 450 x86 Family 6 Model 7 Stepping 3 512
