Allocating more size will make your game, application faster. Usually, it is wise to use the recommended size given at the bottom of window.

9. Step Then click SET. If your entered size is more than the maximum limit then it will show you a message saying: ‘Enter a maximum page file size that is greater or equal to the initial page file size, and less than 4096 MB’. The size shown in the message can vary depending on your RAM memory. In my case, it showed 4096 MB so I couldn’t set size more than 4096. I set it 4000MB. If you have entered below the maximum size it says then it wont display such error message.

Conclusion

It is wise to correctly manage your virtual memory because if your paging file size is too low then WoW or other graphic rich application might run too slow.
When RAM runs low, virtual memory moves data from RAM to a space called a paging file. Moving data to and from the paging file frees up RAM so your computer can complete its work faster.
