Free memory?

[Maxim]

Is there any way at all the get the total amount of free memory on the
current system?

Im desiging an application that can run well on low end machines[32 MB RAM]
up to 512MB-1GB. The problem is that the code is bottlenecked by the
available RAM, so I need to be able to allocate as much RAM as possible,
without allocating too much[and so hitting the disk].

Hi,

you can use WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), there is a managed
namespace in .NET framework. You can query WMI on the server to get the max
amount of memory, current memory consumption and running services for
example (and much more...).

I quickly tried to find an example online, here is one:
