System managed size. Windows NT does a good job of managing memory, no need for the old Windows 9x tricks of setting a min and max.
If you have a second physical hard drive..relocate it to that so it's not on same drive as OS and programs. Best to have pagefile on the fastest, least busy spindle. (or both is fine)

YOSC tx - agree verry nice
- also for overseas fly hehe (6 & 9 cell bateries) .
It is still plain install
& still without any optymalisation & tweaks.
IMVHO still no clear explanations.
FYI first partition SSD
should keep only essential OS data
& SSD trim problem should be "solvet"
by moving all mentioned above tmp files and dirs
to second partition SSD
GOK with SSD (200/180 MBps) possibly not needed 2GB TurboM
