Because I'm trying to get this button into shape as well, but the thought is
there.
As for:

You can shoot me down in flames if you like, but I believe that if you have
a resource meter, it should echo to some degree the actual physical memory
available at any given time. Like, we know it can spool out to virtual
memory, but when in physical is down, the system is not working as
efficiently right?
I wrote this a while back which seems to work ok:
var
THeapres: real;
THeapmem: word;
THeap: Tmemorystatus;
Systat:word;
begin
theap.dwLength := SizeOf(theap);
GlobalMemoryStatus(theap);
with theap do
begin
theapres := (theap.dwAvailPageFile / theap.dwTotalPageFile);
theapres := theapres * 100;
theapmem := theap.dwMemoryLoad;
end;
if (theapmem = 100) and (theapres < 89) and (systat <> theapres) then
begin
systat := round(theapres);
{result is systat(us) and so on...........}
