WMI class ' CIM_PhysicalMemory ' reference for C# and VB.NET

MOF Reference

[Description("CIM_PhysicalMemory is a subclass of CIM_Chip, representing low level memory devices - SIMMS, DIMMs, raw memory chips, etc."): ToSubClass, AMENDMENT, LOCALE(1033)]
class CIM_PhysicalMemory : CIM_Chip

	[Description("Total width, in bits, of the physical memory, including check or error correction bits. If there are no error correction bits, the value in this property should match that specified for the DataWidth property."): ToSubClass] uint16 TotalWidth;
	[Description("Data width of the physical memory, in bits. A data width of 0 and a total width of 8 would indicate that the memory is solely used to provide error correction bits."): ToSubClass] uint16 DataWidth;
	[Description("The speed of the physical memory, in nanoseconds."): ToSubClass] uint32 Speed;
	[Description("The total capacity of this physical memory, in bytes."): ToSubClass] uint64 Capacity;
	[Description("A string identifying the physically labeled bank where the memory is located - for example, 'Bank 0' or 'Bank A'."): ToSubClass] string BankLabel;
	[Description("Specifies the position of the physical memory in a 'row'. For example, if it takes two 8-bit memory devices to form a 16-bit row, then a value of '2'means that this memory is the second device. 0 is an invalid value for this property."): ToSubClass] uint32 PositionInRow;
	[Description("The position of this physical memory in an interleave. 0 indicates non-interleaved. 1 indicates the first position, 2 the second position and so on. For example, in a 2:1 interleave, a value of '1' would indicate that the memory is in the 'even' position."): ToSubClass] uint32 InterleavePosition;

WMI is a huge subject, so therefore it is practically impossible to provide a comprehensive example program that covers anything. However, the book “Network programming in .NET” (Buy at Amazon UK) (Buy at Amazon US) covers a much wider scope of WMI, and explains how to leverage it to access the bounty of information held within this vast, yet simple object model.
