Question about Windows 2000 - China DOS Union Forum - China DOS Union

Users with large amounts of RAM can customize the virtual memory size
　Windows 2000 automatically creates a hidden file named Pagefile.sys in the root directory of the system drive. This is Windows 2000's virtual memory file, and its default size is set to 1.5 times the physical memory. The more RAM you have, the more hard disk space it will use up. The virtual memory size can be modified in "My Computer" — "Properties" — "Advanced" — "Performance Options". It is recommended that users with more than 256MB of RAM can adjust it appropriately; otherwise, please do not change it.

I have 128MB of RAM, and Win2000's default pagefile.sys is 192-384MB. If I add another 256MB of RAM, do I need to change the pagefile.sys size setting? What would be a good size to change it to?
