What about crash dump? The 'default' size when W2K3 is installed is 1.5
times RAM up to 4096 Meg. Will I jeapordize my ability to get a crash dump
if I have say 10 GIG of RAM but I only have a pagefile of 4096 Meg?

Hello,.
Even though this article references pagefiles for x64, what it's really
doing is explaining what to track on your system to determine pagefile
usage, which in turn helps to determine whether you need more space
assigned to the pagefile or not.
889654 How to determine the appropriate page file size for 64-bit versions
of Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP

It's not an answer that is the same for everyone.
Thanks,
