Win 2k Paging question

What is going on in Windows?
First, windows recommends a minimum paging size of 160MB, why is that?
I have 512MB RAM but when I the task manager and look at the "performance tab", my memory usage is only like 90MB after startup. After running a few apps my memory usage increases (even after closing them, I guess due to memory leaks).
Now my problem is I get warning messages saying my "paging file is being increased". Why the hell does Windows keep increasing the paging file size even though it never uses all the RAM I have????
