Do you have a page file?
The Mem column should be RAM usage and not total working set. Some of it could be swapped to the page file. A free tool like process explorer can give you better informaton than the task manager.
As Tim pointed out, "View->Select Columns" and activating "VM Size" is enough to find out how much memory that program actually has *mapped* (rather than currently loaded into RAM).
Cheers, Nick.
