    That's completly normal.
    It adds your RAM + swap file.

    Windows automatically adjusts the size of its page file by default.

    It simply shows how much virtual memory is in use, compared to how much is currently available. As BENDER said, by default Windows will control the pagefile size automatically.

    And it doesn't really matter what these numbers are. As long as the first one isn't as big as the second, all is well.
