I suppose you could P/Invoke to GlobalMemoryStatus[^], for which you will need a MEMORYSTATUS[^] There could be a better way though..

Hi, use the Ex versions, otherwise you will be in trouble when more than 2GB is present:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern void GlobalMemoryStatusEx(ref MEMORYSTATUSEX ms);

public struct MEMORYSTATUSEX {
///
public int Length; // DWORD
///
public int MemoryLoad; // DWORD
///
public long TotalPhys; // DWORDLONG
///
public long AvailPhys; // DWORDLONG
///
public long TotalPageFile; // DWORDLONG
///
public long AvailPageFile; // DWORDLONG
///
public long TotalVirtual; // DWORDLONG
///
public long AvailVirtual; // DWORDLONG
///
public long AvailExtendedVirtual; // DWORDLONG
}
