HwInfo.dll inaccurate API used
The author of this plugin should consider using the following replacement API (GlobalMemoryStatusEx instead of GlobalMemoryStatus) that is more accurate on larger installed memory. MSDN points this out and I have found it to be very true.
void CHardwareInfo::GetTotalSystemMemory( int &sysMem )
{
MEMORYSTATUSEX statex;
statex.dwLength = sizeof (statex);
GlobalMemoryStatusEx (&statex);
sysMem = (int)( ceil( statex.ullTotalPhys / 1048576.f ) );
}
void CHardwareInfo::GetTotalSystemMemory( int &sysMem )
{
MEMORYSTATUSEX statex;
statex.dwLength = sizeof (statex);
GlobalMemoryStatusEx (&statex);
sysMem = (int)( ceil( statex.ullTotalPhys / 1048576.f ) );
}
