RE: [GD-Windows] How to determine total physical memory available ?

I guess System Information tool just rounds this number to the next =
"reasonable" number.
It knows that memory chips don't come in 1022Mb setups..
So it`s quite easy to round number you get to closest power of 2..

Subject: [GD-Windows] How to determine total physical memory available ?

I need to determine how much memory is installed on the user's system
somehow.

I used GlobalMemoryStatus but the values returned in the member =
dwTotalPhys
is always underestimating a bit.  For example on my dev machine it =
returns
1022 MB although I have 1024 MB installed.  Same thing happens on all
systems I've tested.

Same thing is reported in dxdiag.exe so they seem to use that function =
as
well.

However, when I use the System Information tool in the system tools of
Windows, it correctly reports 1024 MB.

So anyone knows how I can get the exact information ?
