This script rounds out the used memory, and prevents rapid fluctuations.

set vmStats to (text 12 thru -2 of (do shell script "vm_stat | grep 'Pages free'")) * 4096

set vmStats to ("Free RAM = " & (round (vmStats / 1.0E+7)) / 100) & " GB" as text

tell application "System Events" to display dialog vmStats with title "Memory usage" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
