RE: Page File
Ok, pagefile size depends on your RAM, Hard Disk speed and performance, and system performance. Doesn't mean that the larger your Pagefile the better your performance.

This means that you need to experiment out the best pagefile size. Large pagefile size on a high RAM system may reduce performance as the system will be slowed down by the Read/Write(IO) process to the pagefile.

Optimized pagefile size would be one pagefile on a very good hard disk that is 3 times of your total RAM size. For example if i have 1024mb of RAM, the pagefile size i would set it to manual and i will put 3000mb as maximum.

However, it's best that you play around with the pagefile size. No harm.

RE: Page File
You go to
1) Control Panel > System Properties > Advanced Tab > Performance Settings > Advanced Tab > Change button
2) Right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced Tab > Performance Settings > Advanced Tab > Change button

to change your pagefile settings. however, large amount of pagefile is not really recommended. Best to have an optimized amount and increase your RAM.
