Pagefile size in WinXP

[LuDaCriS66]

I've read that for WinXP, your pagefile should actually be larger than your total physical memory. I'm running WinXP on an Epox 8KHA+, an Athlon XP 1700+, and 512mb Crucial PC2100 DDR. So how large should my pagefile be? It's currently set at 512 because I had 256mb installed previously and just had another 256mb stick installed a couple of days ago.. should I just set it to the WinXP recommended 766?

I think you can keep it at 512. I have 640 mb ram and mine is only at 100 and it works fine.

I have 512MB of RAM and I set mine to min 256 max 512
