MEM

Displays the amount of used and free memory on your computer. You can use the MEM command to display information about allocated memory areas, free memory areas, and programs that are currently loaded into memory. Syntax MEM [/CLASSIFY|/DEBUG|/FREE|/MODULE modulename] [/PAGE] To display the status of your computer's used and free memory, use the following syntax: MEM Switches /CLASSIFY Lists the programs that are currently loaded into memory and shows how much conventional and upper memory each program is using. MEM /CLASSIFY also summarizes overall memory use and lists the largest free memory blocks. You can use the /CLASSIFY switch with /PAGE but not with other MEM switches. You can abbreviate /CLASSIFY as /C. /DEBUG Lists the programs and internal drivers that are currently loaded into memory. MEM /DEBUG shows each module's size, segment address, and module type, summarizes overall memory use, and displays other information useful for programming. You can use the /DEBUG switch with /PAGE but not with other MEM switches. You can abbreviate /DEBUG as /D. /FREE Lists the free areas of conventional and upper memory. MEM /FREE shows the segment address and size of each free area of conventional memory, and shows the largest free upper memory block in each region of upper memory. You can use the /FREE switch with /PAGE but not with other MEM switches. You can abbreviate /FREE as /F. /MODULE programname Shows how a program module is currently using memory. You must specify the program name after the /MODULE switch. MEM /MODULE lists the areas of memory the specified program module has allocated and shows the address and size of each area. You can use the /MODULE switch with /PAGE, but not with other MEM switches. You can abbreviate /MODULE as /M. /PAGE Pauses after each screen of output. This switch can be used with any of the other MEM switches. Related Command For information about checking the amount of space available on a disk, see the <CHKDSK> command.
