Think about this: If you were to double the amount of RAM that you currently have,
why would you double the size of your swap file?

Well, I have 256MB RAM DIMM SDRAM PC133. The swap file is about 1024MB, FIXED (minimum
= maximum). It haven't had to resize it dynamically while running programs like Visual
Studio, and it won't do it because I configured the swap file to be fixed. Btw, I
have 4GB free on C:.

Thanks for the responses.
I've decided to fix the swap file (min = max) for disk purposes but I don't know
at what value.
I now have (2) 256 mb of PC 2700 DDR Ram for a total of 512 mb and I'm about to replace
one of those with a GIG more which will take me to 1.25 Gig of PC2700 DDR.
I have 30 Gigs available on my HD but I'm not at all sure I need to set the size
of the swap file at 2.5 times memory, or 3200 MB.
What do ya'll think?

I have 1.256g of ram on my machine, I have turned the page file off completely. My
laptop has never been so fast and responsive, plus the hdd doesn't thrash and runs
much, much cooler. Once you have a lot of ram, the page file is counterproductive.
