It won't hurt to search the archives for the differences between OS-level memory reporting tools, like top and the windows task manager, and executable-level tools (the JVM in this case). This has been discussed and explained many times in the past. There's no conflict as the two are not expected to agree. The top command includes overhead space far beyond the heap. Your GC snapshot sent to the list earlier is just that: the portion of the heap currently handled by the garbage collector. The heap could've grown right after the snapshot you sent to the list. There are also parts of the JVM taking memory not shown on the verbose:gc output, and then there's the OS-level memory consumption beyond the JVM itself.
