Actually, it's capital M. One side note about 'top' -- X will appear to
be quite large because it reports that it's using all the RAM on your
video card too. Subtract the card's RAM and you'll get actual usage. For
instance, looking at my 16M Voodoo 3 AGP:

 2605 root      16   0 97072  27M  4848 R     1.9  3.6  47:07 X

minus 16M = 11M actual memory usage.
