Also I at least generally think you should let Windows Manage it and leave it at that...because I used to set it much higher than recommended and Windows would suddenly complain about running out of Virtual Memory...so unless you get that message often (and then I am not sure what the solution would be) just let Windows deal with it.

if there are data need to be stored in VM but generally 1 is enough because set VM in all your drive wouldn't increase speed as long your RAM can handle it (compatibility, yes). it is recommended to set at 'let windows set VM'
Two contradicting posts. Which to believe. :s
