Application to report RAM Usage?

It is built into Windows. Look for Performance Monitor. It will record ram usage and then you can play it back. Since you have no direct control over memory usage why would you want user's to see this as they are working?

Other than that why not look at TUCOWS?

You could try this :

We have a lot of Users that just keep right on designing once they're into the paging file and even up to the ~1.3GB range where they will crash. What I was looking for was something to run silently in the background, then only pop up once a certain threshold of RAM usage has been reached. This is meant to be an early warning, something along the lines of "Your available RAM is getting low. Save and close SolidWorks before you crash." I am more interested in popping up a warning message then asking them to actually manually monitor the usage.

To avoid the crashing use the 3gb switch and adjust your paging files accordingly. Then you can get up to 2.6Gb. If exceeding RAM happens often then you can probably buy more RAM cheaper than you can have your guys sitting around waiting.

I would advise monitoring them with Perfmon and using the results to justify getting more RAM.

For example:

If they aren't taking any notice of the performance hit that must result when the system starts to use a page file, then I'm not sure they will pay attention to a pop-window either.....

On my old system I used a programme called Cacheman, mainly to work with large PhotoWorks projects.

It attempts to recover RAM when the the free RAM is below a certain user defined point, a pop up window informs you that free RAM is below this predefined point before it attempts the recovery.

There is a free version of the software, which is what I used. It has saved me many a crash to desktop when working with PhotoWorks.
