Memory Usage doesn't add up

On my Windows 2000 system, recently memory usage has been very high.
Task Manager's "Performance" tab reported that about 1.2 Gigabytes
were in use. However, when I went to its "Processes" tab and added
up* the numbers in the "Mem Usage" column, I got a much smaller total,
more like 315 MB. My question is, what would account for the other
800 KB not listed?

*To add up the numbers, I used Alt-Prtsc to capture the screen, an
image utility to capture the clipboard, and an OCR program to convert
the image back to a spreadsheet format so I could add it up. Was
there an easier way I missed?
