If you have 4Gigs of Ram, what would you set the page file initial and Maximum size?
Since windows will not let you set it more than 4096...
Would the setting be initial 4096 Max 4096??????

yes. set the minimum and maximum size to the same value. This helps prevent fragmentation of the page file.
 
If you have 4096MB of RAM it would prob recommend that you set it 4096 x 1.5 (the number is indicated to you). Dublin is correct that the min/max values should be the same.
 
This is an IIS server, do you think i should have the memory usage set to program files, or system catch.
 
Usually Windows will set according to the amt of RAM and/or services that are running. If you will be serving up webpages, it would make sense that it would be optimized for cache.
