Why does microsoft and windows recommend keeping pagefile size to one and half times RAM installed on system?


actually i have 768 MB DDR2 RAM on my laptop. i have made exactly 700 MB pagefile which is not fragmented and is present on non-bootable partition (as recommended by microsoft). i want to know whether this recommendation of keeping pagefile to about one and a half times size of RAM in system has anything to do with number of bits used to address virtual memory addresses? i have seen very good performance of my laptop whether it is gaming or autocad or anything else. why is this recommendation so generic when people have so different amounts of RAM installed?

If you really want to know:

you need to have 768 * 1.5 as your pagefile size, this means that how much you are allocating from the hardisk space for using it as temporary storage. MS recomends that as part of extending the virtual memory and gaining better performace of the operating system. i advice you if you are operating a program which uses a lot of ram go ahead and double that about of pagefile size that would better the performace of the operating system
