* * We recommend the following pagefile size for running simulations:
    * On the Pagefile window, check "Custom Size" and change the min to 100000 and max 400000. It may give you a warning, but it should be fine.
    * Online recommends using 1.5x(RAM) as the min and 4x(RAM) as the largest, but we have seen good results with the above values.
