I agree with the above posters. 1.5x(system memory) is an old rule. I usually set the paging file to a size equal to my current RAM. Also it is a good idea to put the paging file on a seperate disk if you can (not just a seperate partition)

run compmgmt.msc at the Run... command and navigate to Disk Management (Snap In) to check on your disks. and see where the paging file is located.

also I would set the minimum and maximum size of the paging file to be the same value. In your case I would set it to 768MB. This also speeds up the computer a bit (because it is not constantly resizing the paging file)
