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...


Actually hold on, see the next post =).
