Dear all,
I noticed that committed memory is much higher than physical memory and commit limit.

admin@tiger:~$ cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:       66108396 kB
MemFree:        50265064 kB
Buffers:               0 kB
Cached:           403164 kB
SwapCached:            0 kB
CommitLimit:    33054196 kB
Committed_AS:   160452848 kB

 
Can someone explain is it good or bad? How it is possible?
