Performance Memory

    • Memory: Shows the total amount of memory available in the system.
    • In Use (Compressed): Indicates the amount of physical memory currently in use, including compressed memory data. In other words, it shows the amount of physical memory actively being used, including compressed memory.
    • Available: Means free memory. A high amount of ‘available’ memory indicates that the system is in good condition and can run new applications, while a low amount may indicate memory shortages and potential performance issues.
    • Cached: Refers to the memory area temporarily stored by the system to quickly access data that has been used previously. This helps make memory usage more efficient.
