Windows 7 - Get RAM details using powershell script

Is there any direct/simple command to get the RAM information through PS script, for example 4GB.

For eg. to retrieve OS Name I am using this command:

(Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).Caption

You are on the right path, using the WMI objects.

The quick answer is:

(Get-WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem).totalphysicalmemory / (1024 * 1024 * 1024)

It is based on this answer:

You should consider switching to CIM.

(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem).totalphysicalmemory / (1024 * 1024 * 1024)

Microsoft has said that CIM is the future.

((Get-CimInstance CIM_PhysicalMemory).Capacity | Measure-Object -Sum).Sum / (1024 * 1024 * 1024)
