There is no point in going above a page file that will support 4096 MB
of virtual memory space in Windows - that is the most space that can be
addressed in a single 32 bit word, and Windows is not designed to use
multiple virtual machines to take advantage of more. Apart, oddly for
Win95/98 where the 'Dos Virtual Machine' for 16 bit programs runs as a
separate VM for each program

You need a page file of say Initial size 100 MB, max 1024, so that the
RAM and pagefile can get up to the 4096 size of the total available
virtual memory
