I know this is an old thread but something like two years ago I uploaded a dynamically memory resizing example and a DLL that returns the amount of memory, physical, virtual and so on. The sample will resize on a timer event to a watermark, attempting to optimise the amount of memory at any one time.

You should be able to find it by searching for obsysmem
