How do I get total physical memory size using PowerShell without WMI?

Question

I\'m trying to get the physical memory size using PowerShell, but without using get-wmiobject.

I have been using the following PS cmdlet to get the physical memory s

Answer 1

This gives you the total amount from another WMI class:

$cs = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_ComputerSystem"
$Mem = [math]::Ceiling($cs.TotalPhysicalMemory / 1024 / 1024 / 1024)

Hope this helps.
