Now I am inviting flame from everybody

Right from Win98 days I have been disabling pagefile and have never encountered
any problem. In WinXP Pro 768 memory and pagefile disabled. Doing video edit,
DVD burning, music edit etc no problem.

In the olden Win98 (Win95 by default did not have page file) days when hard
disks were small I used to disable page file and found that this never was a
problem so I continued with the practice with ME and XP with no performance
degradation.

I do create videos with menu and then burn them to DVD without any problem.

I never used 2000 or NT so I cannot say anything about them.
