"Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory" with 2G of RAM???

[Tony]

I've got a 2GHz WinXP Pro SP2 IE7 desktop with 2G of RAM.

With 10 IE7 browser windows open, along with spider solitaire, I get a popup message
that says "Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory".

I take a look and I see that I have 1.5G of RAM available!

Why would Windows be increasing the size of my page file with soooooo much unused RAM?
