If you’ve got 1GB of RAM, and you’re not running RAM-intensive programs(only possibly the occassional game), can you switch off your paging file. Are there any disadvantages?? Will your computer run better??
Also what do you think of the ‘DisablePagingExecutive’ registry tweak.

Technically, you can. However, Windows will still create and use a paging file even if you turn it off.

Here’s Microsoft’s answer to why you should leave it alone.
