This seems to work:

ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("\\root\\cimv2");
scope.Connect();

ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM
Win32_OperatingSystem");
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new
ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);

ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = searcher.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject m in queryCollection)
{
Console.WriteLine("Available memory: {0}",
m["FreePhysicalMemory"]);
}

query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem");
searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
queryCollection = searcher.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject m in queryCollection)
{
Console.WriteLine("Total memory: {0}",
m["TotalPhysicalMemory"]);
}

Another approach will be usage of performance counters..

It's not possible to get the total system memory (RAM) from perfcounters,
available memory is no problem though.
