wmi namespace

What is the correct wmi namespace and class to query for info on memory
in the computer (how many slots and front side bus/memory speed)?

Also, which wmi namespace and class to query for info on the type of
slot the video card is installed in?

Thanks.

I can't answer your questions. I always wimp out and just use the free
Belarc Advisor. It works a treat, as the kids say.

I don't think it's exactly what you're looking for, but try "systemslot" -
then use that as a starting point to see where you can find the other parts
of the info. You may need to enumerate both the PnP devices and the slots
to find a match. (I've never needed that info so I've not looked into it
closely.)

You can see the exposed data with the commands

wmic memorychip get * /value
wmic systemslot get * /value
