Reading its preceding text and looking at the formula, I think it

have been:
If M < 2
S = M *2
Else
S = (M - 2) + 4
if there are less than 2GB in the machine then you should double it = M * 2
if there are more than two gigs then you need the 4GB for the first two
gigs, then 1GB for each 1GB above 2GB
Which part are you calling out as wrong? The formula as regards its
preceding text, or the whole thing?
I was saying the formula for M >= 2 is way off target.
The cited kb article 15252 confirms it.
I suggested an estimate in my OP, I think it makes sense to revise it to
If Desktop User then Min(3, 2*M)
If 4 < M < 150, then S = Max (5, M/5)
If 150 < M < 256, then S= 24
as some kind of default on the principle that
"'Default values' should be a little more than the minimum
recommended" (in this scenario).
