This is what is displayed on a dual 1.8-G5:
+-o memory@0,0 <class IOService, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain count 4>
| {
| "device_type" = <"memory">
| "bank-sizes" = <" ">
| "ram-layout-architecture" = <00000001>
(...)


As you see, the property is empty. The G5 is running 10.39 :-(
Thanks!
Fabio


I don't know about the issue of the bank-size property not being present. However, this script does work on dual G5 machines (xserves and powermacs) running tiger and panther (tested on OS X versions 10.4, 10.3.9, 10.3.8).

Anywho good luck with your problem,

Hi !
Thank you!
But the bank-size property is not always present, I think it depends on the system version and the machine type.
And sometimes the "bank-size" property is present but it is empty, I think we cannot rely on it.
And unfortunately your script won't work on dual-cpu machines for the reasons I mentioned before.


When it is present, the only difference between the "bank-size" and the "reg" property is that "reg" is 4 bytes, and bank-sizes is 8 bytes.
At the present time, I look for the "bank-size" property and if it is empty or not present I use the "Reg" property...
