need to see how much physical memory is available to current process

I have a memory intensive c# 4.0 graphics program that must run on windows xp, so frequently is running out of memory. What is the best way of estimating the available physical memory for my process? I want to stop allocating buffers when the physical memory drops below 250 MB.

You can use a perfomance counter, for example:

private PerformanceCounter memoryCounter =
        new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "Available MBytes");

// ...
float mb = this.memoryCounter.NextValue();
float available = (mb * 1024 * 1024) - Process.GetCurrentProcess().PrivateMemorySize64;
Console.Write("RAM: {0} MB"
  , (1.0 * available / 1024 / 1024).ToString("0.##"));
