Generally you should just leave the settings to "automatic" but if you want to increase the virtual memory, in Windows XP you just right click the MY COMPUTER and click PROPERTIES. Then ADVANCED and SETTINGS under PERFORMANCE. Click ADVANCED again and SETTINGS under Virtual Memory.

Do your changes and click SET and press OK. Windows will prompt you should reboot for the chances to take place.

Not sure about Vista but it should be similar.
