I'm a switcher from the Windows world and im finding the way memory is managed to confuse me. Maybe its just that i dont understand the terms more than a lack of understanding. I seek help if anyone can help me with this *opens Activity Monitor*
Currently Here are my memory stats
Wired 77.82
Active 95.89
Inactive 144.52
Used 318.35
Free 192.36
VM Size 4.08 GB
Page Ins/Outs 108408/73428
Isnt inactive the same as Free? and whats the difference between wired and active? If anyone can help me clear my confusion it would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Ed
