The problem with having the page file min and max not of the same value is that the page file itself will become fragmented. That will cause a performance hit. So your statement that max is only needed in extreme cases does not take into account the performance issue, which is what we are looking at. (BTW, I never worry about a memory.dmp, especially since all my page files are not on the same partition as the system root.)
