Paging File Size for 2GB RAM

http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php   Here is some more information about virtual memory

Set your Max and Min size to 768 MB with 2 GB of RAM (I have 2GB of RAM installed and the largest size I've seen in use is around 200 to 250 MB. The more RAM installed = smaller page file needed.

Usually 1.5 times the physical ram; so in your case it would be 3 Gb.

                                                                                                             7

In addition to SR45's reference there is more here: http://www.theeldergeek.com/sizing_the_page_file.htm

Also, I should have noted I've not had any issues with the 768 MB page file for my uses. Your mileage may vary depending on the type and number of apps you have open at once, etc.
