The general rule of thumb is to set your virtual memory at 150% of you physical ram so you should set your virtual memory to 1152 megs, and contrary to what some people think leaving the vm system managed is not always a good idea, especially if you use some memory intensive programs due to the fact that if it is system managed the os will just keep enlarging it as it needs more instead of dumping uneeded data from memory and this can fill your drive in some cases, not very likely and i have only seen it happen once but it can happen

You don't have to set a thing set windows up to do it for you and your computer will probably be a lot more efficient since it can expand your virtual memory when you need it and can reduce it when you don't need the extra. So just let windows do it on its own that would be your best bet.
