- In Use: Memory that is used by process, drivers, or the operating system
- Modified: Memory whose contents must go to disk before it can be used for another purpose.
- Standby: Memory that contains cached data and code that is not actively in use
- Free: Memory that does not contain any valuable data and that will be used first when processes, drivers, or the operating system need more memory
