How I can get the size of physical memory ..

.. installed in the PC from kernel level (2k, XP, ...)?
Values like 'small', 'medium' and 'large' doesn't help,
I need the number of bytes!

Thanks in advance, Stefan

Are you looking for installed, or specified? You can specify /MAXMEM to
reduce the amount of memory the system uses, this is valuable for testing
purposes. The answer is different depending on what you want.

I'm looking for the installed amount of memory.

Take a look at
"\REGISTRY\MACHINE\HARDWARE\RESOURCEMAP\System Resources\Physical Memory"

This contains a resource list of the memory regions on the system.

In user mode GlobalMemoryStatusEx () can be used. I used this function
and sent physical memory size to driver. I was trying to implement some
smart buffering. But it turned out that I was reinventing some thing.
