Checking Memory Usage

Just curious how everyone does this.

I always go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information and check the available memory.
Is there a better way to check you available RAM versus used RAM (physical RAM, I'm not concerned about virtual memory)?

task manager

there should be some information on the performance tab within task manager.
Down on the taskbar right click and choose task manager.

I use TClockEX. This gives me a tray display of how much free physical ram I have.
