Microsoft suggest that this is set at a minimum of 1.5 times the amount of memory on your computer.
As you have 1024Mb of memory on your machine then you should set this at a minimum of 1536Mb.
The maximum recommended is 3 times the amount of RAM. This would be 3072Mb.
Therefore try starting off at 1536Mb and set it higher if you feel the need to
Hope this helps

On the other hand, if you allow the page file to be resized by the system it can cause a lot of hard disk fragmentation. To avoid this, you can set the same value as the minimum and maximum.
