820 use 1690m (mega) in virtual allocation and 276m in residual or 
resident memory
smbd use 12612 ko in virtual allocation and 4952 ko in residual or 
resident memory

extract of man top : 

 o: VIRT  --  Virtual Image (kb)
          The  total  amount  of virtual memory used by the task.  It 
includes
          all code, data and  shared  libraries  plus  pages  that  have 
been
          swapped  out. (Note: you can define the STATSIZE=1 environment 
vari-
          able and the VIRT will be calculated from the  /proc/#/state 
VmSize
          field.)

          VIRT = SWAP + RES.

       p: SWAP  --  Swapped size (kb)
          The swapped out portion of a taskâs total virtual memory image.

       q: RES  --  Resident size (kb)
          The non-swapped physical memory a task has used.

          RES = CODE + DATA.
