You can retrieve the amount of physical memory on the computer by using WMI
A quick google search returned this page

Thank You very much. This works fine on my machine, however I ran this on VMWare with 140 MB of memor
and this did not return valid numbers. Memory was returned twice (the program uses internally a loop):
it showed 50 MB and 33 MB, when it should return ony one number (140MB).
XP installed on the virtual machine (task manager, My Computer Properties,...) is aware of 140MB
Later I increased memory for VMachine to 240 MB, and then WMI returned 67MB (also twice

I hope that this is related to VMWare and all physicall machines would behave normally.

Thank You
Michal
