I find the default Page File size to be inadequate. I have mine at at least 1200 and put it around 2000 sometimes after a reinstall.

The other thing about the Page File is that its best to change it's size right after a fresh reformat and install. The reason for this is that constant use causes lots of drive fragmentation. After a reformat the drive is like one big hunk of unused memory so the page file will then once created and enlarged be closer together and closer to the beginning of the drive. This means it will be accessed much faster and wont be fragmented. This improves performance. And a bigger Page File makes for more headroom when running memory demanding programs like SH3. Running out of PF space is gonna make your progs crash.
