Best pagefile size for Windows 8.1 (upgraded from Windows 8) (64bit) and 4GB RAM

Hi, could someone tell me which is the best pagefile size for Windows 8.1 (upgraded from Windows 8) (64bit) and 4GB RAM

Forgot to say my HD has two partitions.

The standard in the computer industry for a long time has been 1.0 to 1.5X the amount of RAM you have. Or just let Windows dynamically manage it.

Min. set to 1x and max. set to 1.5x or both min. and max. set at a same size between 1x and 1.5x?

I always just set my min and max to 1.5X the installed RAM. This was more to get the pagefile to be contiguous on the disk than for any other reason. It gets allocated once and never changes.

I checked and that's what is set at me too (6000 - 6000), so seems everything is all alright. Thank you!

Recently I have issues with Flash Player and images-heavy sites in all my browsers and decided it might be a prob of some of my system settings. My graphic driver is up to date and now when obviously pagefile size is ok too I don't know what else to check.

4GB RAM is really what I would consider the minimum. More real RAM will be MUCH better than any amount of swap.

Unfortunately it's impossible for me, both money reason and my PC (All-In-One) has never been opened. I even don't know if it has a free slot for more RAM.
