sys resources: buff's vs. cache?



I'm on a quest to understand where every little byte on my computer is
being used.  Actually, I'm trying to determine what is happening with
all of my system resources.  Here is a direct question but if you have
any further suggestions or references concerning predicting and KNOWing
system resource usage, please pass the links-doc's-and/or-booktitles
along!

Mem: 127776K av, 125920K used,   1856K free, 49888K shrd, 10288K buff
Swap:390012K av, 159084K used, 230928K free               21228K cached

what is the diff between buffered and cached?

After that... what can I read to better understand the usage of these
two numbers?


Thanks, for any help what-so-ever
