Page file question

If I have 4gb of memory installed on a 64bit os then do I still need a pagefile or can I turn that off and if I do will I notice any difference besides free hdd space?
 
Do you ever run any programs or games (or multiple applications at the same time) that might use up 4GB of memory? Keep in mind that Vista uses a LOT of memory just by itself.

If not, then you probably don't NEED to set up a swap file.

However, if you actually have a system with 4GB of memory, will reserving a couple gigabytes of space on your hard drive for a swap file even make a dent in the amount of storage space you have available?


Honestly, there's really no reason to not let Windows have access to a swap file unless you just want to feel "leet" and "stick it to the man" by running the system without one.
