The standard amount of virtual memory is 50% more than your ram, so 1.75 Gigabytes would be about right. Remember that this space isn't lost on the hard drive, Its just there incase the operating sytem needs it. I would suggest using the virtual memory on the fastest hard drive if possible.

And about the game question. I'm not sure, But it may be pushing unimportaint processes onto paging so that the game can utilize the faster system ram. I'm not sure though.
