just an option
For systems with 512mb ram or more I usually set pagefile to
200mb minimum and 1096 maximum...very seldom does it
exceed 200mb pagefile and it has room to grow as needed.
(the 200mb (minimum) is what pagefile will boot at)

I do find folks that move the pagefile off the system drive
(drive the OS is installed on) are better off with system
managed as the OS then can fix any errors on the fly.
(also allow system managed if 128mb ram or less
 as the system will have to allocate hard drive space
to emulate any missing or needed memory dynamically).
