Windows: Detecting memory hardware?

[vanbeck]

Hi All.
I'd really like to be able to gather some hardware info using a shortcut program that is used on all the PCs at work. Ideally, I would take the user name and make an information text file for each user, containing their hardware specs, specifically the memory hardware that is installed.

With that, I could easily form upgrade plans without having to move a muscle, it would save me tons of time, which is why I'm troubling you guys. I'm aware of the awesome snippet that mskuma posted a few years ago that lists the hardware, so my plan is to use that to gather GFX card info etc too - but the main thing is memory hardware specifics.

If anyone knows of a technique, or any advise on how to do this - would be very much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

We use BgInfo from Bryce Cogswell (former Sysinternals, now Microsoft) on each
of our 2300+ PCs. BgInfo offers a wealth of hardware and software infos which
may be displayed on the user's desktop (writing it onto the current user's desktop
background).

With our Novell Zenworks Remote Desktop software we can take over the user's
desktop (of course only after he has permitted it during a telephone call). Using
VNC would be another possibility...

Thanks for that Shardik, that might be the best option. Maybe I can have it capture a screenshot, or export the results automatically - I will investigate.
