The physical memory devices on Windows devices.
| 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. |
