You're asking if a 48GB page file would be excessive given your current setup. Since you already have 32GB RAM and older programs need virtual memory, a larger page file might not be necessary. Upgrading RAM isn't urgent right now.

This program is quite old, but it should run fine without needing a lot of memory.

Configured virtual memory at 4-8GB unless usage exceeds 32GB, which seems unlikely.

You don’t require an excessively big page file with just 32 GB of RAM. Windows usually suggests using about 1.5 times your RAM, but that might be too high. Consider enabling auto or a smaller value such as 4 GB.

I prefer a fixed page file instead of an automatic one. This keeps things simpler and reduces the chance of needing to change disk settings. With a static file, Windows won’t have to constantly adjust its size, which saves on storage usage.

You're not changing the permissions beyond what the system already allows. The static or auto-resizing page file doesn't influence how often it's read or written, nor the amount of data processed at once. The main constraints would be fixed minimum and maximum sizes, which shouldn't matter unless you're constantly running low on memory.

When page file is configured as auto Windows, it automatically changes its size to fit requirements, which leads to frequent disk writes since the page file is constantly modified. Using a fixed size, like 48GB, eliminates random writes because the amount remains constant—only changes occur when data needs to be stored on the page file.

I keep pushing my 32 gigabytes of RAM to its limit every day.
