| Column | Name | Purpose | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 4-character identifier | Tells you which driver or kernel component allocated the memory (e.g., Ntfr , CM31 ). | | Type | Paged or Nonpaged | Nonpaged leaks are dangerous (cannot be swapped to disk). | | Allocs | Number of allocations | If this number grows endlessly without stopping, you have a leak. | | Frees | Number of frees | Should roughly match Allocs. If Frees is stagnant while Allocs climbs → Leak. | | Bytes | Total memory used | The actual RAM consumption for that tag. |
