I disagree with spreading the page file over several disks. I believe it should be on your system disk. If the system disk goes down, you're toast anyway, so spreading across disks does nothing for robustness over putting it on the system disk. As to performance, if page file performance becomes an issue, then you're swapping too much and you need more RAM. Therfore, spreading over several disks isn't going to help performance either.

Forgive me if my suggestions are "page file"-centric. If there are other Exchange concerns that would over-ride these, then ignore them: Set the page file at RAM+ enough to hold the registry and a memory dump. At 2 Gig's, the various formulas of 2.5-3xRAM doesn't really help. Set Min and Max as the same. Span the page file over several disks (not volumes or partitions). Clearly, if you have a RAID array the incorporates striping, the page file would be spanned with the other data. But if there are other disks available, use them.
