Windows XP swapfile. On or off?



A somewhat misleading title to what I really want to ask.

I have two PC's running XP SP2 with 1Gb RAM. I've disabled the
pagefile on both. I have no ill effects.

I wish Usenet supported polling. I really wanted to know if anyone
does the same thing? How many of you run with no swapfile?
