I was wondering what's the ideal page file size for
Windows XP on a PC with 768MB of RAM--if it's relevant,
I've got 61.8 GB free on my hard drive.
 
I have mine set to about 3/4ths the size of my installed memory and haven't had
a problem. In most cases, the optimal size vary for everyone, some folks rarely
peak their pagefile more than 250 mb and some powerusers really peak at 1.5 to 3
times the size of installed memory (CAD and video editing programs are real
memory hogs).

| Hi,
| I suppose the best virtual memory size is 1.5 times your physical memory
| (RAM). For more info you can visit this excellent site :
