    Ram

    Hi!

    I'm trying to get

    01) the amount of total RAM the computer has
    02) the amount of RAM currently available

    I can't seem to find any decent tutorials for it.

    I'm using DirectX, but I can't find ANYTHING in DirectX that does this... :-(

    Does anyone know how/where I can do this?

    I tried to use the sample program provided at that link, but couldn't get it to work. However, I was able to get the sample program for GlobalMemoryStatus to work.

    When I tried using the GlobalMemoryStatusEx sample program, I got the error message that MEMORYSTATUSEX and GlobalMemoryStatusEx was "undefined". I think it was because they left out an #include in the sample program provided. Even the sample program for GlobalMemoryStatus left out #include <stdio.h> which is required for printf to work.

    Do you know how I can use that sample program at GlobalMemoryStatusEx and get it to work?

    Never mind... I don't need the extended version.
