Good Day Folks,

I'm using the function GlobalMemoryStatus to display memory information to 
the user.
But it seems that the reported values are slightly higher than what is
reported by WinXP task manager, from 18-25KB

The code I'm using is shown below.

char buffer[sizeof(MEMORYSTATUS)];
MEMORYSTATUS lpBuffer;
GlobalMemoryStatus(&lpBuffer);  // pointer to the memory status structure

Label1->Caption=String(lpBuffer.dwTotalPhys);
Label2->Caption=String(lpBuffer.dwAvailPhys);

Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
/Serge
