I think I read an article where these values and more are available by 
querying Windows Management Instrumentation, WMI for short.  Have a look at 
the Microsoft site for more details I also think there was an article in the 
C++ Builder Developer's Journal in the last 6 months.

Not totally sure if this is what you want but it may help.
