RE: Getting PC configuration details!!

I really do not think it is possible to obtain most of this information. I
just dont think this kind of information is available to the OS. Regardless
there is no classes provided in the .Net framework to facilitate this.

Thanks,

Most of this can be retrieved using the System.Manageme nt classes and WMI (see class Win32_PhysicalM emoryArray and class
Win32_PhysicalM emory).
