I think his rational is that you only use what you need, if you have 128M, for instance, the odds are that unless you're running huge apps, you never really need more than 64M of paging space, but if you do, it's there....this line of thinking would seem to only be valid at higher physical memory levels. but, I wouldn't presume to know exactly what he's thinking at any given time, he usually suprises me. so, if I'm wrong, sorry.

the only real benefit I can see for keeping the paging file one size is that it reduces fragmentation, but if it rarely grows, the fragmentation would be minimal.
