Memory Consumption of Processes in Windows XP

Just a small note to myself: The memory usage displayed in the task manager does not match the total memory usage displayed in the graph. When you terminate a program using x MB RAM, you will free 3x RAM in the graph display. Estimating memory footprint of software should thus better be done using the graph display.
