By memory i mean virtual memory whih is how much your computer can process at once.
RAM is what keeps lag from happening
Hard drive memory is, of course, your disc space.

I'm going to say this once:
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COMPUTERS.
Memory is referred to as RAM, aka Random Access Memory. RAM will have no effect on "lag" seeing as how "lag" is when you have a high ping over a network connection. However, RAM is how much your computer can store without having to load off your hard drive again. Having faster RAM/a processor with a good FSB speed will help decrease the time it takes to add things to itself.
Having "Virtual Memory" is using your hard drive as RAM, which is very slow, and probably shouldn't be used. (even on SSD's)
