I have 3 gigabytes of RAM on my computer. I have disabled pagefile (Windows XP Pro) because some programs use pagefile even when there’s plenty of RAM available, and this is soooo slow.
It’s possible to prevent WinXP from using the page file to cache drivers and program code. You can change it in the registry.

On every launch, Photoshop 7 complains about missing pagefile, saying it is "dangerous" or something.
How do I disable this message??
You can’t as far as I know but you can define a small page file. Some says that 128 MB is more than enough but that’s not my experience and therefore I can’t recommend it.
The problems I’ve had in Win2000 and WinXP is described here: <
