I know it may sound a little silly, but it has to be completely automatic.
Let me explain the situation: When I send a program to a client the 
specification says he needs a machine with 16 to 32Mb of memory, 
the program has a report window where this amount of memory
is displayed and I can make the check by phone or automaticaly.
It is almost impossible to determine the total amout of memory
from the available memory as sometimes there are _big_ buffers
allocated in memory.
