    Why "wmic memphysical get maxcapacity" outputs zero value?


    I have an old model laptop Sony Vaio VGN-CR35G and it has an intel core 2 duo T8100 processor. It runs on windows 10 and I want to use it for coding. It has two slots of ram and currently both has 1gb in it.

    Question regarding WMIC

    I'm looking to upgrade my laptop RAM (ASUS X441BA), so I want to check my capacity first.

    I typed in on cmd:

    wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

    I got the output

    MaxCapacity MemoryDevices

    4194304 2

    What does this mean?

    Do I have 4194304 kilobytes (4.1GB) to fit in within 2 slots, or Do I have 4.1GB per slot? I have two conflicting informations about this.

    Upgrade RAM

    When I run cmd:

    wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

    I get:

    MaxCapacity MemoryDevices

    134217728 8

    Does that mean i can increase the ram up to 128gb? (my memory RAM slot only has 2 max)

    Upgrading RAM

    When I run:

    wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

    I get:

    Max Capacity 33554432 MemoryDevices 2

    Would it be pointless for me to upgrade my RAM to 64GB?
