What specifically do you want to know? As a user the only really important information is found in the Activity Monitor application in a green graph. The higher the green mountain is, the more VM is being used. If the mountain turns yellow memory pressure is getting high and you may experience some beachballing. Avoid yellow when possible. If it the graph turns red quit some apps or close browser windows.
