i can't make any sort of sense out of top's output. in particular, these lines confuse me: Mem: 19M Active, 1944K Inact, 7120K Wired, 49M Cache, 8240K Buf, 128K Free Swap: 131M Total, 5968K Used, 125M Free, 5% Inuse when this machine boots, it says: real memory = 83886080 (81920K bytes) Physical memory hole(s): avail memory = 79245312 (77388K bytes) so, about 77 meg of RAM available. how is that i only have 19M active and 128K free? i really just don't understand what top is telling me, i guess. any tips appreciated.
