title: How do you get total amount of RAM the computer has?
body: <p>Using C#, I want to get the total amount of RAM that my computer has.
  With the PerformanceCounter I can get the amount of Available ram, by setting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>counter.CategoryName = "Memory";
  counter.Countername = "Available MBytes";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I can't seem to find a way to get the total amount of memory.  How would I go about doing this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <p>MagicKat: I saw that when I was searching, but it doesn't work - "Are you missing an assembly or reference?". I've looked to add that to the References, but I don't see it there.</p>
