Hello Daniel,

you can query W2K3 Server for physical memory. There is a table of storage 
entries (disks, virtual memory, physical memory) in the host resource MIB:

1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.2.index            hrStorageType
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.index            hrStorageDesc
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4.index            hrStorageAllocUnits
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.index            hrStorageSize
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.index            hrStorageUsed

with the type

25.2.1.2        type = physical mem

for physical memory. You have to search for "25.2.1.2" in the "Type" field 
to get the index. Then you have to query "AllocUnits", "Size" and "Used" 
for this index and multiply "AllocUnits" and "Size" to get the physical 
memory size (IIRC in Bytes). By multiply "AllocUnits" and "Used" you get 
the used physical memory (IIRC in Bytes).

This method unfortunately does not work for W2K.
