Virtual memory is the use of hard disk space to substitute as RAM when your system does not have enough ram to do the job you have asked. How much is needed depends on how you use the compueter not what the make is. It is best to let windows manage your virtual memory settings in the majority of cases. Better yet add more system ram and avoid the issue entirely.

Typically, a half more than your total physical memory.
Example, Windows automatically allocate 768 MB of virtual memory if the machine has 512MB of physical memory.

It is recommended to set the amount of virtual memory as double as your real RAM size. For example if your pc has 512MB of RAM, then the best size for your virtual memory is 1GB. But if you have a large amount of memory, it really wouldn't matter for you. At most you will need 1.5GB of virtual memory.
