I've never really checked activity monitor until PArallels gave me a reason to. One column head is % CPU, but it shows Parallels is using over 100. Since it's impossible to use over 100%, does this number actually represent MB of RAM used?

I tried duplicating this behavior, but couldn't. Would it be possible to see a screen shot?
