My Personal Folder(1).pst is less than 120 megs. At what size, with a
modern computer, does the size of that file make it necessary to archive it?

With Outlook 2003 or 2007, you can store up to 20 GB in a PST out of the
box. In actuality, you never need to use autoarchive, if you choose not to,
although you may have to move things around between multiple PSTs so that
any one PST stays below its limit.
