Virtual Memory

I have been having this "Low on memory" window pop up.
What is the recomended setting for the "Initial Size"(MB)
and the "Maximum Size" (MB) for the virtual memory in
Windows 2000?
Also, what about the Maximum Registry Size?

You might have an application that leaks memory.

Default paging file size after a fresh install is 1.5*RAM min and 3*RAM
max.

I don't think that you should change Max registry size until you start
getting errors about this in the event log.

Best regards

Actually the min and max paging file size should be
determined based on the amount of memory you have
installed on your system. The formula is your memory times
1.5 for the min and times 3 for the max, you can just take
the max setting and apply to both min and max to lessen
fragmentation on your drive.
