BillBarnard BillBarnard Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2007-03-14 Posts: 141 Loc: Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire...	I have just installed an extra 2GB of RAM in my PC (Win XP SP1, x86), making it 4GB, and have setup a new Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 machine, and find that the Memorysize() function does not return the correct values on both machines. The 32-bit XP returns 2047 for Total Physical RAM The 64-bit Win 7 returns 4095 for Total Physical RAM. Anyone else have similar problems? Using the Memory() UDF written by Glenn Barnes, this returns 3548 Megabytes on the 32-bit machine, which is correct, but then it returns only 519 megabytes of RAM on the 64-bit machine. The sysinternals PSINFO tool also wrongly returns 518 MB on the 64-bit machine. Tried it on Kixtart 4.53, 4.61 & 4.62 TIA, Bill _________________________ Bill

It was nice to get an email today from Kixtart.org wishing me a Happy Birthday. I'll not be slowing down at 60 quite yet. _________________________ Bill

Although the routine only returns 8 items, not 9 as suggested in the Parameters section. The first one should be "Description" which is not returned. Thanks, Bill _________________________ Bill

However, if you specify "Description" as the value you want, it returns a value. GetMemoryInfo() = an array values GetMemoryInfo("Description") = only returns a description

I'm 60 now and going part-time in January. I'll still be keeping a close eye on this forum. Lots of interesting things. Cheers, Bill _________________________ Bill
