The two programs just have a different understanding of what they consider used memory. The system monitor considers disk cache unused since it is freed when needed, but Sider does not. They both are correct, just depending on how you define it.

If you don't know what cache I am talking about, it is disk cache used to keep read and written data to/from the disks in memory for easy re-access. It is held by the kernel and is freed for programs that need it within a split second.
