I believe it's actually the size of the page file at the time of the crash. :) So, I'd set the initial page file size to RAM+extra. I highly recommend setting the initial and max page file sizes to the same value anyway. Otherwise, the page file tends to become fragmented, and that really drags down performance. Plus the system tends to waste time constantly growing and shrinking[1] the page file, which also drags down performance. [1] Something in the back of my head says that some flavors of Windows only grow during operation, and only shrink at boot, or something like that. Whatever. Some flavors did try to shrink during operation. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
