Just installed Windows 7 and saw that Microsoft indicates a minimum install of Ultimate version is about 30GB. Mine was 35GB after the basic OS only. When I looked into it there was 16GB of Virtual Memory. How much do I really need with 16GB of actual RAM?

Oops, Sorry it's the paging file size.

I set my page file to recommended in custom page file.
I set the "Initial size and max size" the same for my SSD
This way it keeps a good "page file" size,
but doesn't constantly write to the page file because the same size.
