If you have alot of RAM you might be tempted to completely disable the page file. You shouldn't do that because XP requires a page file for a number of core functions, and several 3rd party programs will cause out-of -memory errors if you try to get rid of all virtual memory. Windows doesn't actually use the page file until it's needed, so you won't gain any performance advantage by doing this.
