Sys info reports weird sized pagefile? ideas?

I set my pagefile to be 256 MB. That's what the file pagefile.sys appears to be. yet, in sysinfo, sandra, and Memturbo, it's reported as being 739.13MB... i can't figure it out for the life of me. if it set the pagefile to 0, it's still reported as having a pagefile. The only thing that could be involved is that windows once or twice told me my virtual memory was too low and increased it for me...
any suggestions as to what's goin on here would be great.

Do you have one pagefile on each disk?

check hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\session manager\memory management\pagingfiles to see what your OS is using for pagefiles.

Don't edit this value unless you're willing to risk a noboot.
 
I have noticed that if I have a pagefile on one disk, and then delete it and make another one on another disk followed by a restart....sometimes it doesnt delete the old one even though in the config it says zero. That file isnt being used and it can be deleted...its a hidden file called pagefile.sys(or something)

maybe thats your problem

i checked it out, an it just says: D:\pagefile.sys 256 256
so thats not it.
searched once again for pagefile files on my computer and only find that one.
is it possible that these programs are somehow misreading it and gettin the wrong system info?
and i have switched pagefiles from one drive to another in the past, but there are no residual files leftover still.
thanks, and any other suggestions would be great.
