Hmm... since my SP3 clients all report that value (in several ways), I
know it can do it; I guess what I'd try is to pick a client and invoke
a full HW inventory. You can either use Roger Zanders' SMS Client
Center (client spy), or a few right-click tools have a full HW inv
action as well.

No luck. I did change totalPhysicalMemory to True, the rest were already True.
I waited for some clients to finish an inventory cycle. The recently
inventoried clients did not have a total phsyical memory.
If I edit a query/report under the "Physical Memory" component "Total
physical Memory" does not exist as a choice.
What else am I missing?
Thanks.

There are several places in the default SMS_DEF.mof in clifiles.src
\hinv\sms_def.mof for memory that you can check to see if they are
FALSE.
1) In the default sms_def.mof from SP3, about line 769 change FALSE to
TRUE for "totalPhysicalMemory". This would put back the value of
total physical memory in the v_gs_computer_system view. By default
this is FALSE
2) About line 1505, verify the report itself is "TRUE" (by default
this is TRUE). This would be for the view v_gs_x86_pc_memory; and 1
of the values is for TotalPhysicalMemory.
3) Line 2107, verify it is TRUE for 'TotalVisibleMemorySize'. (by
default this is TRUE). This would be for the view v_gs_operatingsystem
I checked my lab; I have all of those as TRUE; and they all return a
total, some are translated into MB (because in the mof it's configured
to do so). So if you already have any one of the above set as true,
you could base your total memory report on that returned value.

Yes I have extened my mof with Jeff's addition.
Like many others I discovered "memory" was missing on inventories after SP3.
So I applied Jeffs change to the mof, and I am now getting "Physical Memory"
showing up in my inventories.
The problem is that there is no longer a "Total memory" The "pysical memory"
only has a "capacity" value "Capacity" only measures a single RAM chip. So
for example, if I run a report to tell me which computers have less than 65
MEG RAM. I get a list of all the computers that have (4) 64 MEG RAM chips in
them. Which would be 256 MEG RAM total. Anotherwords all my reports are lying
because total memory is not being measured. Only "capacity" of the individual
chip.
If I have to modify my reports to add all the capacities together, I don't
mind. I just don't know how, but I would like to find out how to get the
total memory.
Thanks.

Instead of using that view to get total memory; have you tried canned
report 25 "Computers with low memory (less than or equal to specified
MB)?

The capacity property of "Physical memory" reports the capacity of single
chips only.
If I run a query that lists all machines with less than 64 MEG RAM, machines
that have two 64 MEG chips in them (128 total) show up in the query because
"capacity" is counting the RAM individualy.
If I wanted to get the "Total" RAM installed in a comupter, is there a way I
can add all the individual capacities together? Or is there a "Total Physical
memory" value I can get from somewhere?
