436492 2006-03-07 21:03:00 Can you please explain.

According to the System Information on my Windows XP computer I have:

Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB
Page File Space 1.21 GB
Page File C:\pagefile.sys

However the size of the C:\pagefile.sys file is only 786 MB.

These numbers don't seem to add up. How can I get 2 GB of virtual memory from a 786 MB file?

Thanks Terry
