How do you get total amount of RAM the computer has?
Using C#, I want to get the total amount of RAM that my computer has. With the PerformanceCounter I can get the amount of Available ram, by setting: counter.CategoryName = "Memory"; counter.Countername = "Available MBytes"; But I can't seem to find a way to get the total amount of memory. How would I go about doing this? Update: MagicKat: I saw that when I was searching, but it doesn't work - "Are you missing an assembly or reference?". I've looked to add that to the References, but I don't see it there. Philip Rieck The p/invoke way EDIT : Changed to GlobalMemoryStatusEx to give accurate
