Question

Is there a way to access the computer’s physical resources like its Memory, Processor Speed and System type through batch programming (DOS)?

Answer 1

The wmic command might get you what you need.

Here are a couple of examples:

C:\> wmic computersystem get TotalPhysicalMemory
TotalPhysicalMemory
259497984

C:\> wmic cpu get name,MaxClockSpeed
MaxClockSpeed  Name
2393           Intel Celeron processor
2393           Intel Celeron processor

C:\> wmic os get Name
Microsoft Windows XP Professional|C:\WINDOWS|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1
