good post, netryder
now, if this user has misguidedly created a pagefile that is static, and too small, and therefore circumvented the design of this operating system, then he could go back in and both increase the size of it, and allow the os to expand it when it needs too
my recomendation, as always, 2x ram as the initial minimum, with 4096 as the maximum.
you might need to increase the initial minimum, according to your personal needs, but never decrease the initial minimum lower then 1.5, and never dissable the os's ability to make the pagefile bigger if it needs to
