psinfo reports incorrect information about physical memory

Question

I'd like to raise again the bug that exists in psinfo v1.78 (published on June 29, 2016).

As reported in a post on the archived forums psinfo (both 32-bit and 64-bit version) reports incorrect information about physical memory above 4 GB.

It's quite embarrassing that such a bug exists in psinfo as the systems with more than 4 GB of RAM have been in common use for at least 10 years.

Answer 1

Hmm. While the op (rpr) says they find it fixed in 1.79, I do not.

I'm running that version (downloaded just today), and in the 2 systems I've tested which are each running 32g (as confirmed in task mgr, sys cfg, etc), psinfo still reports "physical memory" as about 4g in each. FWIW, one is running Windows 11 and the other Windows 10, each at their current latest update--and the value reported is the same when running "as admin" or not.

So it's certainly interesting that RPR found it working, while I do not. I hope we may hear in time from others confirming things either way.

Answer 2

I'd say that the issue has been fixed in psinfo v1.79 (published on March 30, 2023):
