Page file usage: How much of your virtual memory your using.

Total Handles: I forgot
Threads: Is a single task in a process, example- saving a document in word would be a thread in the process word.
Process: An application, can see these running in the first tab.

Physical mem tot: How much memory you have in Kb

Kernel memory I think is how much memory the OS is using for itself and how much of it is in RAM or VM.

Commit Charge, no idea...
