I might be wrong but I think that these OIDs are correct IF you have less than 4GB memory (32-bit field)
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.221.1.1.1.1.8
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.221.1.1.1.1.7

If you have more than 4GB then you should use these OIDs (64-bit fields)
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.221.1.1.1.1.18 (used memory)
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.221.1.1.1.1.20 (free memory)

I think OIDs that you mentioned are CPU related. Not the whole system
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.12
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.13
