Why this message ? Virtual Memory Too Low

The optimal memory size should be 1.5 times your physical RAM. So if
your ram is 2GB then your virtual amount should be 3GB and so you have
5GB to play with.

Gibberish. Each process in your machine is allocated a virtual memory

This "page file should be x times actual RAM" is something I remember
from the days of Windows 3.1 and typical memory sizes of 4 M (yes, M not
G!). I never understood it even then: to me, the _more_ RAM you have,
the _less_ you're likely to need virtual RAM. There was a slight reason
for it, _if_ you agreed with the following suggestion: that someone who
has x amount of real RAM is likely to _run_ certain types of
application.

As VanguardLH said, it's probably wise to have _some_ virtual RAM in
case of the unexpected, and also to set minimum and maximum to the same
- and delete the previous one - to ensure it is created, and remains,
unfragmented.

Yep.
