I think that buffers + cached is memory that could be used by apps if they
needed it, however, the OS has info in these areas and it might as well stay
there in case it is needed in the near future.

I think the memory available for apps is MemFree + Buffers + Cached (although I
don't know when virtual memory would be used).
