new programs maybe, but whats to say a currently running process cant suddenly spike?

Spike? Listen, Do you have any idea how incredible much 512MBOriginally posted by RoD

of ram is??? You aren't going to use it up in a million years.
Offcourse it's possible to do so, But then you would just be
fooling around with creating a new int in a for loop 100000000
times
even still, i mean spike as in suddenly shooting from say 2mb to 20mb....theoretically.

settles that :P
Not enough to run a decent program through a profiler/bounds checker ?Listen, Do you have any idea how incredible much 512MB

When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.

I mean that 512 MB of RAM is not enough to work with if you do more than just homework assignments.

>>> if you do more than just homework assignments.
This is the real point. The answer is it depends what you are doing, but you won't harm your machine by having a larger than necessary page file.
Each process, (on a modern Win32 system), has a 4GB virtual address space that it can use, thus it is possible that a single app may use (4GB - Physical RAM size - System RAM use - some other minor considerations) by itself.
If you are running simple programs, then the chances are the system may run without using a page file at all. If you are doing finite element analysis or surface flow modelling of complex three dimensional figures, you'll be eating memory like a slavering beast, and then still run out working out, in the process, that you really should be using a professional workstation and not a PC.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
