Is there somewhat a formula to calculate Paging File size? For example, what should be the paging file size for a 8GB memory server? For 32bit systems, Microsoft recommends creating a paging file 1,5 times the amount of RAM. By default, the page file is configured automatically this way and placed in the best place Windows can find. For 64bit systems, Microsoft has a more difficult recommendation, as part of Microsoft Knowledgebase article 889654.

Hi Petarch, Normally, we set page file as 1.5 times the physical RAM. This is just an estimated number. If you want to set your page file size accurately, the best way is to use the performance counters in Performance Monitor to determine it. For the detailed information, please refer the KB article below.
