    Displaying System RAM in c#

    How do I display the system RAM in C# ?? Do I have to get
    it from the Registry or is there a function for it?

    If so how??

    Thanks

      Jonny,

      You will want to use the classes in the System.Manageme nt namespace to
      access the WMI providers. Basically, you want to query the system for all
      instances of the Win32_PhysicalM emory WMI class. On that class, there is a
      Capacity property you can use to get the memory for that particular board
      (each instance of the Win32_PhysicalM emory WMI class will represent a
      different memory board).

      Hope this helps.

          Thanks Nicholas,

          I keep getting this error when I try to use the
          system.manageme nt

          The type or namespace name 'Management' does not exist in
          the class or namespace 'System' (are you missing an
          assembly reference?)

          any idea's?

          Am i missing something really obvious?

          /Jonny
