Retrieving Hardware info on windows?

[captian jaster]

How would i obtain the hardware info(eg; Amount of Ram) in windows?

[Silvio Clécio]

On Windows it is very easy. It is equal to Delphi:

Code: [Select]

uses
  Windows;

procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
const
  cBytesPorMb = 1024 * 1024;
var
  M: TMemoryStatus;
  T: string;
begin
  M.dwLength := SizeOf(M);
  GlobalMemoryStatus(M);
  Memo1.Clear;
  with Memo1.Lines do
  begin
    Add(Format('Memória em uso: %d%%', [M.dwMemoryLoad]));
    Add(Format('Total de física: %f MB', [M.dwTotalPhys / cBytesPorMB]));
    Add(Format('Total máx. paginação: %f MB', [M.dwTotalPageFile / cBytesPorMB]));
    Add(Format('Paginação disponível: %f MB', [M.dwAvailPageFile / cBytesPorMB]));
    Add(Format('Total vitual: %fMB', [M.dwTotalVirtual / cBytesPorMB]));
    Add(Format('Virtual disponível: %fMB', [M.dwAvailVirtual / cBytesPorMB]));
    T := formatfloat('#,##', (diskfree(0)));
    Add('Espaço Livre do HD: ' + copy(T, 1, 4) + ' MB');
    T := formatfloat('#,##', (DiskSize(0)));
    Add('Tamanho do HD: ' + copy(T, 1, 4) + ' MB');
  end;
end;

Dood its in spanish...

In en:

Code: [Select]

(...)
    Add(Format('Memory in use: %d%%', [M.dwMemoryLoad]));
    Add(Format('Total physical: %f MB', [M.dwTotalPhys / cBytesPorMB]));
    Add(Format('Total max. pagination: %f MB', [M.dwTotalPageFile / cBytesPorMB]));
    Add(Format('Paging available: %f MB', [M.dwAvailPageFile / cBytesPorMB]));
    Add(Format('Total virtual: %fMB', [M.dwTotalVirtual / cBytesPorMB]));
    Add(Format('Virtual available: %fMB', [M.dwAvailVirtual / cBytesPorMB]));
    T := formatfloat('#,##', (diskfree(0)));
    Add('HD free space: ' + copy(T, 1, 4) + ' MB');
    T := formatfloat('#,##', (DiskSize(0)));
    Add('HD size: ' + copy(T, 1, 4) + ' MB');

For unix (ubuntu) it's possible?

For unix (ubuntu) it's possible?

Yep, but not with those Windows API functions. *nix stores hardware information in files. Examples for CPU and memory info:

ULTRA BUMP!

Thats a cool way of storing info
