Vista - Page File

Hi, my system drive is running low on space so i need to free up some and
thought that i could lower the pagefile, but i dont know how much MB the
pagefile should be. I have 1GB RAM, the systemdrive is 34GB

512 - 2500-4096MB
1GB - 2048-3072MB
2GB - 2048MB
3GB - 1024MB
4GB - 1024MB

Rather than resizing the page file you can move it to a different partition
or drive.

Will Vista and Windows XP share a dedicated pagefile partition?

You could gain space by reducing the disk space allocation to the
Recycle Bin. Right click on the Recycle Bin on your Desktop and
select Properties to view options.

Gerry, I don't know if you can have both page files on the same partition.
Maybe it can be done but I suspect it's not a good idea. You might want to
post this as a seperate question so that it might be seen by someone who
knows the answer.
