I read the KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312628 and it states the
Available Memory Bytes counter will never reach 0, but doesn't explain
why other than the fact that it comprises of the Free List, Standby
List, and Zero List. Can anyone explain?

It could in theory reach 0 but the system will become extremely slow
at this point because it will be trying to trim all working sets and
internal
caches to create more available pages.
