Falscher Wert bei GlobalMemoryStatus

[RavenIV]

Aus der Delphi-Hilfe zu GlobalMemoryStatus:

Zitat:

You can use the GlobalMemoryStatus function to determine how much memory your application can allocate without severely impacting other applications.

The information returned by the GlobalMemoryStatus function is volatile. There is no guarantee that two sequential calls to this function will return the same information.

On computers with more than 4 GB of memory, the GlobalMemoryStatus function can return incorrect information. Windows 2000 and later report a value of -1 to indicate an overflow. Earlier versions of Windows NT report a value that is the real amount of memory, modulo 4 GB. For this reason, use the GlobalMemoryStatusEx function instead.

On Intel x86 computers with more than 2 GB and less than 4 GB of memory, the GlobalMemoryStatus function will always return 2 GB in the dwTotalPhys member of the MEMORYSTATUS structure. Similarly, if the total available memory is between 2 and 4 GB, the dwAvailPhys member of the MEMORYSTATUS structure will be rounded down to 2 GB. If the executable is linked using the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE linker option, then the GlobalMemoryStatus function will return the correct amount of physical memory in both members.
