Virtual Memory is a section of your hard drive that is used to swap data in and out of ram (thus the other name "swap file"). How big your swap file needs to be depends on how much ram you have installed. Please reply with how much ram you have.

Optimal paging file size range for a system with 1GB of ram would be:

Initial: 1536

Maximum: 2048
