It depends on the OS. But the basic is: physical is the memory in the box.
Actual is the memory in use by programs.
Total physical memory = program in physical memory + cache + free memory
Actual = program in memory + program in swap
Total physical memory will be 100% because the disk cache will consume all
available memory.
