Checking memory usage
HI
I have a Windows 2008 Server, 64bit, with 4GB RAM. I want to ensure that we don't need anymore so I was thinking of using some sort of Perfmon counter so that I could view if free memory was ever that low.
Could someone expand on the best way to do this?
On a longer term note, is there some sort of SCOM alert that could generate an email when free memory was running low?

In terms of which counters to use for my memory issue, do you have any advise?

You can consider only the memory section:
Object\Counter Preferred or Ideal Value
Memory\Pages/sec 0–20. (Unhealthy if greater than 80; probably indicates not enough RAM.)
Memory\Available Bytes 10% of physical memory.
Memory\Committed Bytes No more than 75 percent of physical memory.
Memory\Pool Nonpaged Bytes A steady value. (A slow rise might indicate a memory leak.)
