I was having a quick look at my PC this morning and Xymon is reporting
the following
Physical 2329M 3567M 65%
Actual 49M 3567M 1%
Swap 3162M 7132M 44%
Physical looks about right as Task Manager is showing 2.32Gb in use.
I've had a look at Resource Monitor in Windows 7 and it looks like the
Actual is labelled there as "modified"?
As my swap file is 3567M and my physical is also 3567M (4Gb installed
but 32bit system) the total shown in Swap appears to be actually the
total memory not just the swap file.
I don't know what client you're using, but I guess both BBWin and others
use the Windows API function "GlobalMemoryStatusEx" to get the memory
statistics. A description of the data from that function is here:

Maybe they should start using the newer GetPerformanceInfo() function, but
that one didn't exist when I wrote the bb_memory tool back in 2004...
