I am running a computer with one 1024 MB of PC333 Memory. I have
always been told and been in the habit of setting up the page file
size as twice what the memory is for the Initial and the Maximum
settings. I statically setup the Initial and the Maximum to 2048 and
clicked set. The computer notifies me that it will need to reboot in
order to make the setting change stay. I reboot the computer and it
makes absolutely no difference. The Microsoft Recommended Page File
Size is 1533 and it somehow allocates 1534 every time no matter what
you set in the Initial and Maximum sizes. I have set the size smaller
than 1534 and bigger than 1534 and it always defaults to that size.
The XP default limit is like 4092 unless you over-ride that setting.
There is over 18GB of free space on that partition so I know that is
not the problem. This computer was freshly setup about a month or two
ago so it is not scar tissue from a corrupted operating system. The
machine is also a dual-boot of XP Professional and Vista Ultimate for
testing purposes. There are three partitions on the hard drive, one
for each operating system and one for backup ghost images of the
setups. I am wondering what to think of this situation now.
