Very interesting post, thank you. I've already set the page file to system managed.

I have been looking around the web for an answer but all I could find we're about enterprise servers so I'll just make a question for it. I just installed a Windows 2008 Web server(Windows Server Web SP1). Now I would like to move the page file to a different hard drive to increase performance. However I couldn't find a proper answer to what I am looking for: What is the appropriate page file size for Initial and Maximum? It's 64bit architecture with 2x 3.00 GHz Intel Xeon and 5GB ram installed. Can someone please help me out?
