Some programs look for the page file and throw errors/lock if it isn't there at all. Some stuff always seems to page. Some programs prefer to have a pagefile. Instead, I would turn it down to some minimal amount - 200MB, 256 MB, whatever... Ramdisk is a nice option. But, if you dedicate RAM to your page file, then you're only making the page file more necessary and less useful. So,IMHO, it is dumb idea. :/ Again, I wouldn’t recommend totally disabling the pagefile. Some programs look for the page file and throw errors/lock if it isn’t there at all.

A ramdisk should always be used for temp internet files, cache and temp folders etc. @Kamal

Even if what you say is true (and i don’t think it it) with 2 gigs of ram you can create a ramdisk and place the pagefile on if if required. A ramdisk should always be used for temp internet files, cache and temp folders etc.

This is because some applications need page file to function. eg: some games need small amount of page file to even run no matter what is the amount of available RAM @ Travis: It is not advised to completely turn off the page file.
