my2001 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hi!I'm searching for a preferably internal command in DOS box which tells me how much RAM there is at all in the system. Is there anything like this? Or will I have to use an external tool?thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my2001 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 yeah, I knew that already. But mem tells me only how much conventional ram (640 k) is there, not the total amount of RAM in system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT64 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Doesn't DOS suffer from the 640Kb barrier? (And it was Bill Gates who said "640Kb should be enough for anyone" - what does he know?!!) I'm not sure you can find out from DOS the total memory available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my2001 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Yeah, you're so **** right! And unfortunately you might be right with what you've said about the total amount of RAM. But doesn't anyone know a little freeware tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't anyone know a little freeware tool?I use msinfo32 to generate a report file and grep the memory size out of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 You could use a vbscript/wmi combo. It's very easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
