What issues are you running into that would make you think to change your paging file?
I let Windows manage mine and I am also running on 4GB's on 7 64 bit.

Just let Windows handle it (at least for Vista and 7).

I always set mine manually to 1.5x the amount of RAM I have installed.

To OP; don't adjust it, I'll be surprised if you actually manage to fill up 4gigs, most of the ram being used while your computer is idle is just windows 7 being nice and preloading some applications into ram for you.

better question is:
do you have a SSD or HDD?
if SSD yes manually set it to one size, you don't want constant resizing of the paging files on your SSD. It will cut down the lieftime of your SSD. Better yet move it off the SSD and ono a regular HDD.
If HDD i would say let windows manage it BUT if you had a secondary drive i would move the paging file onto the drive without the programs you use the most. For example if you install Firefox and excel and word and WoW and BF2 on drive C  boot) then move your paging file to dive D if that is the secondary drive) Be careful doing it on Partitioned drives (500gb into 250gb x2) as there will be no difference in drive access times.
Hope this helps.

You don't need to ever set your pagefile manually. You never did in the past either.
If you like to tweak, then try whatever pleases you. There are an endless number of settings that people prefer.

if you're on an SSD then just get at least 6-8gb of ram and turn your pagefile off completely, for best performance.
