Probably don't even need one. :) Usually it's 150% of the ammount of ram you have, but I don't think you'll ever fill up a gig of ram...

PS has a hell of a memory leak, so if you play that then manually set your paging file to 1536 mb as the minimun and maximum.

Look at the following tweaking guide, I found it very useful for my last format (preparing to get PS). I know that guide was posted some time ago, just think it's worth posting again...

Zat nailed it:
150% of your RAM
Min and Max identical (prevents fragmentation in your pagefile)
If you ever need a pagefile though, I will be suprised.
