[RESOLVED] [1.0/1.1] Retrieving the total amount of RAM from a computer

[JenniferBabe]

Hi. Does anyone know how to retrieve the amount of RAM in megabytes from a computer?

This (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/memory/base/globalmemorystatus.asp) might help.

Thanks Hack. This is the solution:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices; // To use Dll import.

....

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern void GlobalMemoryStatus(out MemoryStatus stat);

public struct MemoryStatus
{

public uint Length; //Length of struct
public uint MemoryLoad; //Value from 0-100 represents memory usage
public uint TotalPhysical; // The total RAM.
public uint AvailablePhysical; // The Available RAM.
public uint TotalPageFile;
public uint AvailablePageFile;
public uint TotalVirtual;
public uint AvailableVirtual;

}

......


MemoryStatus MemStat = new MemoryStatus();
GlobalMemoryStatus(out MemStat);


......


Console.WriteLine(MemStat.TotalPhysical/1024/1024.ToString());

...// To access available RAM, MemStat.AvailablePhysical
