This question has surface many times in different formats. Basically you're wasting your time with the other 2 pagefil.sy files. Simply increase the main one to 3 times the amount of physical ram you have.

If you want more speed, then increase the physical ram to 2GB and do away with the pagefile.

Hard lessons learnt are not easily forgotten.
