    If you aren't familiar with Process Explorer, I would highly recommend it. For your specific need, they have a "Find" icon you can drag onto a specific window and it'll tell you all about it. There's a level of detail there that you won't find in many other tools.

    They also have the reverse. For processes with windows (like SSMS) you can right-click on the offending process's line in Process Explorer, go to the "Window>" sub-menu and select "Bring to Front" to see which SSMS instance is the one taking so much memory.
