There is no need for paging at all if your programs doesn't ask for it.

Globally you should have at least 2MB of it. Some games and programs demands more.

Give one reason you shouhld make the paging file maximum size the same as the paging file initial size?

From TechNet: Set the Same Initial and Maximum Size Setting the paging file's initial size and maximum size to the same value increases efficiency because the operating system does not need to expand the file during processing. Setting different values for initial and maximum size can contribute to disk fragmentation.


What is the minimum size of the paging file required to allow a memory dump in the event of a stop error?

That depends on how much memory is being used by the operating system, the apps and their data. In general a paging file is 2 to 3 times physical memory so, 4x the physical memory (paging file of 3x physical memory + physical memory) will guarantee enough room for all data IF the paging file is set to 3x physical memory. There would be more needed for the devices attached to the processor, but there will be holes in memory and these holes most often more than make up for the memory of attached devices.

What is the appropriate maximum paging file size if the initial paging file size is 763?

The sizing of a paging file is usually dependent on the amount of physical memory installed, which you do not indicate in your question. Maximums can be set according to the amount of disk space available and their placement. Sometimes you can set the maximum much higher than would be used by the operating system, leading to wasted allocation of disk space.


Does your computer have multiple paging file?

No. While most O/S use the hard drive to store temp data as memory, there is only one page file. The most efficient method is to increase your page file to 5 percent of your hard drive size and make the two values the same. This way the O/S will keep that area open for paging and not Fragment the paging file
