Put the following into a .vbs file via notpade and then run it. You will
see what your Pagefile is actually using and has used during the current
session.

------------------------
WriteToFile = True 'Options: True, False
ShowPopup = True 'Options: True, False
DisplaySeconds = 0 '0 (zero) to force OK

If WScript.Arguments.Count > 0 Then
WriteToFile = False
ShowPopup = False
DisplaySeconds = 0
For Each arg in WScript.Arguments
If LCase(arg) = "log" Then
WriteToFile = True
End If
If LCase(arg) = "rpt" Then
ShowPopup = True
End If
If Left(LCase(arg), 2) = "t:" Then
If IsNumeric(Mid(arg, 3)) Then
DisplaySeconds = Mid(arg, 3)
End If
End If
Next
End If

For Each obj in GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2").ExecQuery(_
"Select Name, CurrentUsage, PeakUsage, " & _
"AllocatedBaseSize from Win32_PageFileUsage",,48)
s = s & vbcrlf & "Pagefile Physical Location: " & vbtab & obj.Name
s = s & vbcrlf & "Current Pagefile Usage: " & vbtab & obj.CurrentUsage
& " MB"
s = s & vbcrlf & "Session Peak Usage: " & vbtab & obj.PeakUsage & "
MB"
s = s & vbcrlf & "Current Pagefile Size: " & vbtab &
obj.AllocatedBaseSize & " MB"
Next

If WriteToFile Then
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
logfile = CreateObject("WScript.Shell"). _
SpecialFolders("MyDocuments") & "\PagefileLog.txt"
If NOT fso.OpenTextFile(logfile, 1, True).AtEndOfStream Then
With fso.OpenTextFile(logfile, 1)
s2 = .ReadAll : .Close
End With
End If
With fso.OpenTextFile(logfile, 2)
.Write Now() & vbcrlf & s & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & s2 : .Close
End With
End If

If ShowPopup Then
WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Popup _
s, DisplaySeconds, "WinXP Pagefile Usage Monitor", 4096
End If

just let windows manage your pagefile and forget it...
considering that today's harddrives are 250gigs and up
who cares about the size of your pagefile

swap would only degrade the performance for you.

Well, they can't hurt you as mush as looking in the mirror.

No doubt that Freudian slip will turn out to be uncannily accurate too.
