Unsure if mem usage is correct

This may totally be alright, but I just want to check to be sure. I noticed that my internet explorer when I am using the internet takes about 50k on task manager, and Firefox starts at about 20k and eventually gets to 40k. This seems kind of high, but I just want to be sure that is OK, and there isn't spyware or something.
Is task manager always very accurate when it comes to telling your memory usage? I ask because even when I play memory intensive games, Ill pull up task manager out of curiosity and it still won't be more than a few 100k (100mbs) being used.
(By the way when did computing.net get a spell checker)

Not really a Security question...but 50K? Are you sure that's correct? That's nothing as far as Mem Usage is concerned. "100k (100mbs)" 100k and 100MB are not the same...
