Running 32bit home ultimate with 2 GB. With RAM price dropping, will it
make sense get another 2 GB and eliminate the page file? (I know Vista
32-bit will only "see" 3+ GB but 3+ is still a lot more RAM than 2 GB.)
 
You should keep the pagefile.. Windows expects to see one.. just increase
memory to 3gb total and you will save yourself some cash..
