Where is the "Memory" Performance Object in Perfmon

I have added all the performance counters and support for
Perfmon.exe, but I still don't see the Memory Performance
Object in the drop-down list. I am specifically looking
for "Available MBytes" and "Committed Bytes" What do I
need to do to get these counters? Missing Registry
Entries, perhaps?
 
PerfMon has a dependency on the presence of a pagefile. Without the
pagefile you will be missing counters for the following: Cache, Memory,
Objects, Processor and System.

Workaround: Add pagefile support for a pagefile of at least 2MB. Set
Min = 2MB & set Max = 2MB.

Now that the team that owns perfmon knows about this dependency, it
will be addressed for Longhorn.
 
Is there any other utilities (third party?) that I could
use to get Available MB, like in perfmon, that don't
require a pagefile?
 
Kelly,

How about just calling to API? Like GlobalMemoryStatusVlm.

Or just develop a simple WMI script.
