You can try using the GlobalMemoryStatus API.  A sample can be found in this

Here's a quick snapshot sample of how to use GlobalMemoryStatus:

Private Type MEMORYSTATUS
    dwLength As Long
    dwMemoryLoad As Long
    dwTotalPhys As Long
    dwAvailPhys As Long
    dwTotalPageFile As Long
    dwAvailPageFile As Long
    dwTotalVirtual As Long
    dwAvailVirtual As Long
End Type

Private Declare Sub GlobalMemoryStatus Lib "kernel32" _
   (lpBuffer As MEMORYSTATUS)

Private mMS As MEMORYSTATUS
Private mMemoryUsed As Long
Private mTotalPhysicalMemory As Long
Private mAvailablePhysicalMemory As Long
Private mTotalPagingFile As Long
Private mAvailablePagingFile As Long

Public Sub GetStatus()

   mMS.dwLength = Len(mMS)
   GlobalMemoryStatus mMS

   'fill properties
   mMemoryUsed = mMS.dwMemoryLoad
   mTotalPhysicalMemory = mMS.dwTotalPhys
   mAvailablePhysicalMemory = mMS.dwAvailPhys
   mTotalPagingFile = mMS.dwTotalPageFile
   mAvailablePagingFile = mMS.dwAvailPageFile

End Sub

;-) Cool
