Question

I have a question about the property TotalVirtualMemory in the VB class ComputerInfo. I have checked this property from code on several different computers and the number is always 2047 MB. This is strange because I know for a fact that the virtual memory on these computers differ (~1GB, ~2GB and ~3.5GB). Does anyone know why it is like this and is there any other way to get the total and available virtual memory?

Best regards
Daniel

You can use WMI to get memory information:

ManagementObjectSearcher mgmtObjects = new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem");

    foreach (var item in mgmtObjects.Get())
    {
        Console.WriteLine("FreeVirtualMemory:" + item.Properties["FreeVirtualMemory"].Value);
        Console.WriteLine("TotalVirtualMemorySize:" + item.Properties["TotalVirtualMemorySize"].Value);
    }
