Please add some!

Sample Code:

public void Test()
{
    UInt32
        result = 0;

    NativeMethods.SYSTEM_MEMORY_LIST_INFORMATION
        MemoryList;

    UInt32
        returnSize;

    Int32[]
        arr = new Int32[] { (Int32)Commands.MEMORYLIST };

    IntPtr
        buff = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(1024); // should be more than adequate
    try
    {
        result = (UInt32)NativeMethods.NtQuerySystemInformation(NativeMethods.SYSTEM_INFORMATION_CLASS.SystemMemoryListInformation, buff, result, out returnSize);
        if (result != 0)
            // Most likely error is InfoLengthMismatch = 0xc0000004 -- meaning you need to make the buffer larger
            throw new System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception(((NativeMethods.NtStatus)result).ToString());
        MemoryList = (NativeMethods.SYSTEM_MEMORY_LIST_INFORMATION)Marshal.PtrToStructure(buff, typeof(NativeMethods.SYSTEM_MEMORY_LIST_INFORMATION));
    }
    finally
    {
        Marshal.FreeHGlobal(buff);
    }
}
