Whether or not this is possible and how to do it if it is possible depends on the specific OS.

Unix is a family of operating systems. If you need a portable way to determine the ram size on all of them you are out of luck. That cannot be done. As an example, I believe that I could do this with HP-UX 11i provided that I am running as root. If you do not know your OS, run "uname -a" and post the results.

With linux, you can read the file /proc/meminfo and parse the results. It will seem to be a text file. You can "cat /proc/meminfo" to see what you have to work with.

I'm not a Windows guy. But I think WMI is the way to go at least with XP. I'm not a wmi expert. But from my command window I ran the command:
wmic path Win32_PhysicalMemory get Capacity
and I got two lines, one for each of my memory modules. I know that you can invoke wmi from vbscript but I have never done that. Anyway look for wmi documentation as a starting point.
