390726	2005-09-25 10:00:00	Is there anyway to rid my computer of the page file? I currently have it set to no pagefile in system settings, but a ctrl-alt-del performance tab shows that I am still using a pagefile... Its only really an experiment, but any help would be greatly appreciated.	dirtbag (6060)

Its only really an experiment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I revisisted this issue a few weeks ago when I went to 2 gig of Ram. I dissabled it and everything seemed to run fine including high end games like BF2 etc. However a few apps complained about being short of virtaul memory (no sheep sherlock). I have read some apps do require virtual ram in the past, and I can personally confirm it, so I would reccommend against it.	Battleneter (60)
