Description

Column 

Description

DeviceGuid 

The device that the physical memory belongs to.

Capacity 

The total capacity of this physical memory, in bytes.

DeviceLocator 

The label of the socket or circuit board that holds this memory. For example: SIMM 3.

FormFactor 

The implementation form factor for the chip. For example, values such as SIMM (7), TSOP (9) or PGA (10) can be specified.

InstallDate 

The date and time the object was installed. This property does not need a value to indicate that the object is installed.

Manufacturer 

The name of the organization responsible for producing the physical element. This may be the entity from whom the element is purchased (also contained in the Vendor property of CIM_Product) or some other value.

MemoryType 

The type of physical memory.

Model 

The name by which the physical element is generally known.

PartNumber 

The part number assigned by the organization responsible for producing or manufacturing the physical element.

SerialNumber 

A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the memory device.

Speed 

The speed of the physical memory, in nanoseconds.

Status 

The current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses include: "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail" (an element, such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive, may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future). Non-operational statuses include: "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.

Tag 

A string that uniquely identifies the physical memory device represented by an instance of Win32_PhysicalMemory. For example: Physical Memory 1.
