Don't pay any attention to that. It depends how much of the core system service files have been written to swap and how many programs have been preloaded to give you faster access to them (windows prefetch).

Heck my system has a commit charge of 206MB at the moment and I'm only running a web browser and MSN messenger. If the system needs it it can swap stuff about provide a program with more memory than is listed there.
