Setting virtual memory size

[Lovepeaceguru]

I have 2GB memory installed in a 3.4GHz system on an Asus P5GD1-VM motherboard. I have two further 1GB DIMMs that I'm about to put in. However, Asus tell me that I won't see all the memory because it can only address 4GB memory in total and a certain amount is reserved for critical functions.

So what should I set my paging file size to?

I've got two hard drives: C with 146 GB free, D with 218 GB free. At present I have a paging file of 2.1GB on each disk. Is this the optimum? What should I doi when I put in my additional 2GB RAM?

What are you going to do with all of that ram? Are you working with huge video files? Here is what the eldergeek has to say about it.
