How much physical memory is there...?

[Senbonzakura]

Hello,

I want to ask, if anyone knows how to write a function that checks how much physical memory is installed, how much of it is available etc.
I need to add, that it is supposed to work in 16-bit protected mode, without paging, at privilege level  0, and musn't use BIOS functions.

I have no idea how to get it on  :( so I would appreciate any tips...

With those type of requirements, I am certain that this is homework. Use Google or your text book.  :naughty:

Oh, and to answer your question, yes - we know how to write a function that checks how much physical memory is installed, how much of it is available etc.

It is some kind of homework indeed... :8)

However I didn't ask you to give me solution, just some general tips, to save my time...
I gues it wasn't good idea from the start, I have already found how to get it on.

Thank you, anyway
